Worksheet Crafter User Manual
Worksheet Crafter accesses the marketplace via direct internet connection as well as the provied proxy information in the computers settings. If your school uses a proxy server with explicit authentification the connection to marketplace and asset library may fail.
In this case it is possible to enter specific proxy server connection data in Worksheet Crafters admin.ini configuration file to allow access to the marketplace for your collegues via the proxy. In this chapter we lead you through all the steps.
Providing Proxy Configuration in ADMIN.INI file
The proxy configuration is defined in the [Proxy] section of "admin.ini". You may define the following settings:
Setting |
Description |
Example |
ProxyType |
Type of the Proxy. Set the value to 0, to exactly use the settings made in admin.ini file. |
ProxyType = 0 |
ProxyHost |
Host name of the proxy server or its IP address. |
ProxyHost = www.my-proxy.com |
ProxyPort |
Number of the port the proxy listens to. |
ProxyPort = 80 |
ProxyUsername |
Optional user name, that will be used for authentification at the proxy. You may leave this field empty, if you do not require a user name. The user name has to be encrypted, so it cannot be read in its original in the admin.ini. Go to this website for encryption: http://www.getschoolcraft.com/_supportData/user-scripts/adminEncode.php |
ProxyUsername = U3RlZmFuIE38bGxlcg== |
ProxyPassword |
Optional password for authentification at the proxy. You may leave this field empty if no password is required. The password needs to be encrypted so it cannot be read in its original in the admin.ini. Go to this website for encryption: http://www.getschoolcraft.com/_supportData/user-scripts/adminEncode.php |
ProxyPasword = Z2VoZWlt |
Lines beginning with a semicolon are interpreted as comments and will be ignored.
Important: Take care that the line with your setting does not start with a space character. Otherwise the whole line will be ignored by Worksheet Crafter. So when enabling a line by removing the semicolon be careful to also remove the following space character.
Here is an examplary "admin.ini":
