Configuring proxy settings

By default, harmon.ie connects to SharePoint via your computer-configured proxy, giving you a secured working environment. If the proxy requires authentication, you must configure the proxy settings manually, as described below.

harmon.ie can also connect to SharePoint directly, without using a proxy, or use a manually configured proxy server.
