Configuring a proxy for the Acunetix 360 Web Application

You may need to configure a proxy for the Acunetix 360 Enterprise Web Application. For information about setting a proxy for the agent, refer to Setting Proxy in Scanner Agents.

IMPORTANT: This instruction assumes that you installed Acunetix 360 Enterprise On-Premises to the default location, which is C:\Program Files (x86). If not, please change the relevant step in the instructions accordingly.

How to configure a proxy for the Acunetix 360 Web Application

  1. Press the Windows logo key  + E.
  2. Paste the following file path into the address bar: C:\Program Files (x86)\Acunetix 360 Web Application.
  3. Open Web.config with a text editor and locate the proxy configuration line.

<system.net>

    <!--<defaultProxy>

      <proxy usesystemdefault="True" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888/"/>

    </defaultProxy>-->

  </system.net>

  1. Remove the comment characters from the proxy configuration line.
  2. Enter your proxy configuration.
  3. Save and close the Web.config file
  4. Restart the IIS for changes to take effect.

TIP: In addition to the proxy address, you can also add information such as a bypass list to the proxy configuration. It looks like the following:

<system.net>  

    <defaultProxy>  

        <proxy  proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8080"  

                bypassonlocal="True"/>  

        <bypasslist>  

            <add address="[a-z]+\.acunetix\.com$" />  

        </bypasslist>  

    </defaultProxy>  

</system.net>
