CM_ProxyEntries Configuration Service Provider

The CM_ProxyEntries Configuration Service Provider configures proxy connections on the device.

Note Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by Security roles. Because OEMs and Mobile Operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information, see Security Roles.

The nocharacteristic tag will work on the top two levels to delete all, or specific, entries.

The following table shows the default settings.

Characteristics

• <entryname>
  Specifies settings for the <entryname> parameter, which sets the name of the connection. Settings under this characteristic specify parameters for this proxy connection.

Parms

• Enable
  This parm can be used in the <entryname> characteristic to enable or disable a connection entry without removing it from the system. Permitted values are 0 for OFF or 1 for ON.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	Read/Write
  Data type	Boolean
  Label	Enable
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• Extrainfo
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic to store additional information that does not fit appropriately into any of the other proxy fields. Typically, this parameter is used to store additional WAP proxy information.

• DestId
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic as a GUID that represents the unique ID of the network to which this entry connects. See the Connmgr.h header for predefined GUID values IID_DestNet*.

  Typically, a proxy connection connects from a private network to the Internet, so the value of DestId would be that of IID_DestNetInternet, which is "{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}."

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	Read/write
  Data type	String
  Label	Connects to
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• Override
  Reserved for future use.

• Password
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the password of the proxy entry, if one exists. Passwords are only required for WAP and SOCKS proxies and are not used for HTTP proxies. Queries of this field return a string composed of asterisks (*).

  When setting the password, passing in the same string causes the new password to be ignored and does not change the existing password.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	Read/Write
  Data type	String
  Label	Password:
  Semantic type	alphanumeric-password
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• Proxy
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the name and port number of the proxy server. For HTTP proxies, the value of this parameter uses the <name>:<port> format, for example, myproxy:80.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	Read/Write
  Data type	String
  Label	Proxy (name:port):
  Semantic type	url
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• SrcId
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic as a GUID that represents the unique ID of the network from which this entry connects. See the Connmgr.h header for predefined GUID values IID_DestNet*.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	read/write
  Data type	string
  Label	Connects from:
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• Type
  Used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the type of the proxy entry. Possible values are:

  • 0 for null proxies
  • 1 for HTTP proxies
  • 2 for WAP proxies
  • 4 for SOCKS4 proxies
  • 5 for SOCKS5 proxies

  The value of 0 is reserved to denote a null proxy. This value can be used to allow Connection Manager to treat one network as a superset of another network by creating a null proxy from one network to the other.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Permissions	Read/write
  Data type	String
  Roles allowed to query and update setting	Manager AuthenticatedUser

• UserName
  If a proxy entry exists, this parm is used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the username of the proxy entry.
