Connections Settings
Connections Settings
You can configure proxy authentication settings from the Connections page. Depending on your network configurations, proxy authentication may be required for your application to connect to Mitratech's server when viewing the Available Updates (see Viewing Information About Available Updates).
Proxy authentication information on this page is used when connecting to Mitratech's Available Updates server, and when the Collaborati Spend Management feature connects to Collaboration.
The Collaboration Portal is designed to allow secure access to your TeamConnect instance from outside of your firewall. For more information on this feature, contact Mitratech Support.
