HTTP Settings dialog box

If selected, Dragon prompts users with local user profiles for a username and password when they connect to the HTTP server.

If deselected, Dragon does not prompt users for a username and password.

Default value: Deselected

Default username and password required to connect to the HTTP server. Usernames must be fully qualified with the domain name.

Type of authentication used on the HTTP server. The options are:

• Basic—Username and password are passed over the network as clear text.
• Digest—Passwords are never transmitted across the Internet in unencrypted form.

Default value: Basic

Note: For security reasons, ensure that anonymous logins are disabled on the HTTP or HTTPS server.

Determines how Dragon handles redirects if you are storing the master roaming user profiles on a server that redirects incoming connections to another location. The options are:

• Never—Redirects are ignored.
• Always—Redirects are always followed.
• Same Scheme Only—Only redirects using the same scheme as the client request are allowed.

If selected, the client and server keep the connection alive after the current session ends.

If deselected, the connection ends when the current session ends.

Default value: Deselected

If selected, indicates that connections to your HTTP server are through a proxy server.

If deselected, connections are not through a proxy server.

Default value: Deselected

Select the firewall type used on the HTTP server. The options are:

• HTTP Proxy—Proxy server specializes in Web page transactions.
• Tunnel—Server connections are through tunneling software.
• SOCKS4—Select for a SOCKS4 protocol that relays TCP sessions at a firewall host to allow application users transparent access across the firewall. SOCKS4 clients require full Domain Name Service (DNS).
• SOCKS5—Select for a SOCKS5 protocol that relays TCP sessions at a firewall host to allow application users transparent access across the firewall. SOCKS5 supports multiple authentication methods. SOCKS5 clients use the SOCKS5 server to perform the DNS lookup.

Default value: HTTP Proxy

Server name provided by your network administrator.

Port number needed to connect to the proxy server or firewall.

Username needed to log in to the proxy server or firewall.

Password needed to log in to the proxy server or firewall.

Authentication string provided by your network administrator.

Number of seconds the server waits before breaking the lock on any open Master Roaming user profile. Specifying 0 uses the default setting from the server.

Number of seconds before Dragon should close the connection to the server either when the connection is idle or after the connection has been open for that duration.

Indicates when the connection timeout applies. The options are:

• Inactivity—Closes the connection after the Roaming user profile is inactive for the specified time.
• Absolute—Closes the connection after the specified time independent of any Roaming user profile network activity. Use this option with caution, as it could close the connection during synchronization.
