Setting Proxies

The first time you start VMware Workbench, you must set proxies for HTTP and HTTPS as well as proxy by-passes for local machines that you will connect to. At start up, a dialog displays that allows you to configure proxy settings.

Note In subsequent start ups, you can reach the proxy setting screen by selecting Window > Preferences. Open the General preference and select Network Connections.

Set proxies

1	Select Manual proxy configuration in the Active Provider drop-down menu.

2	Highlight HTTP and click Edit.

Verify the proxy server name and port number are correct, or type the correct proxy and port information.

3	Select HTTPS and click Edit.

Verify the proxy server name and port number are correct, or type the correct proxy and port information.

Caution Do not edit the SOCKS proxy. Doing so will cause errors.

4	In the No Proxy for list, add systems on your intranet that you want Eclipse to be able to find.

The following example shows various types of entries you might want to add:

10.*

*.example.com

127.0.0.1

localhost

Wildcards can be used for IP addresses and domain names. Domain names can only have three parts.

5	Click Apply to save changes, and click OK.

You are now ready to install the development kit and certification tests.
