Configuring a proxy for the Invicti Enterprise Web Application

This document is for:
Invicti Enterprise On-Premises

Setting up a proxy may be necessary for the Invicti Enterprise web application. For information about setting a proxy for the agent, refer to Setting Proxy in Scanner Agents.

This document provides instructions for configuring the proxy.

IMPORTANT: These instructions assume that you installed Invicti 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 Invicti Enterprise Web Application

  1. Press the Windows key  + E.
  2. Paste the following file path into the address bar: C:\Program Files (x86)\Invicti Enterprise 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]+\.invicti\.com$" />  

        </bypasslist>  

    </defaultProxy>  

</system.net>
