y External Proxy Server: Under PLANET WLS-1280 security management, the system will match the External
Proxy Server list to the end-users’ proxy setting. If there isn’t a matching, then the end-users will no be able to
reach the login page and thus unable to access the network. If there is a matching, then the end-users will be
directed to the system first for authentication. After a successful authentication, the end-users will be redirected
back to the desired proxy servers depending on various situations.
y Internal Proxy Server: PLANET WLS-1280 has a built-in proxy server. If this function is enabled, the end users
will be forced to treat PLANET WLS-1280 as the proxy server regardless of the end-users’ original proxy
settings.
For more details about how to set up the proxy servers, please refer to Appendix D and Appendix E.
