How to configure CYREN Services for use with a Web Proxy

This article describes how to configure a proxy server for the CYREN services with the Protection module in all NoSpamProxy versions from version 9.2 onwards. To do this you have to download the files

  • ctasd.conf
  • ctipd.conf (additionally available from version 12.x)
  • ctwsd.conf (additionally available as of version 13.x)

from the directory "C:\ProgramData\Net at Work Mail Gateway\CYREN\".

The following section is responsible for this:

# If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you

# should uncomment the following parameters and assign appropriate

# values.

#ProxyPort = 80

#ProxyServerAddress = myproxy

#ProxyAuth = NoAuth

#ProxyUserName = user@proxy

#ProxyPassword = 1234

#ProxyAccess = 1

If you use a proxy server without authentication

  • Remove the # character before the ProxyPort, ProxyServerAddress, ProxyAuth and ProxyAccesslines.
  • Enter the corresponding port of your proxy server at ProxyPort.
  • Behind the entry ProxyServerAddress you configure either the IP address or the FQDN of your proxy server.
  • For ProxyAuth leave the entry at NoAuth.

If you use a proxy server with authentication

  • In this case you must also edit the ProxyUserName and ProxyPassword options. Enter the appropriate logon information for ProxyUserName and ProxyPassword.
  • In addition, you must change the value ProxyAuth to Basic.

After you have saved the file, you must restart the services

  • you must restart the services
    • NoSpamProxy - CYREN Service (ctasd.conf),
    • NoSpamProxy - CYREN IP Reputation Service ctipd.conf) and
    • NoSpamProxy - CYREN URL Categorization Service (ctwsd.conf)

in order for the changes to take effect.
