Proxy Settings

You can configure proxy settings in the Bold Reports® application to route traffic through a specified proxy server.

What is a Reverse Proxy?

A reverse proxy is a server that sits between client devices and your backend application servers. It receives incoming requests from clients and forwards them to the appropriate internal server. Once the response is received from the internal server, it is sent back to the client by the reverse proxy.

Configure Proxy URL

  • You can choose either http or https for the protocol based on your certificate configuration.

  • In the Site or Proxy URL field, enter your desired domain (e.g., example.com or localhost:55981).

Ignore SSL Certificate Validation

  • If your environment does not have a valid SSL certificate, you can check Ignore the SSL certificate validation errors.

  • This is helpful for development or internal environments without a trusted certificate authority.

    Ignore SSL

Notes

  • Use https only if a valid SSL certificate is configured.
  • Once the proxy settings are updated, you need to restart IIS for the changes to take effect.
