Configuring a Proxy

Tax Transfer DE can be configured to use a proxy to communicate with the German Tax Authority.

Edit the appsettings.json file in the physical directory of the Tax Transfer DE application:

1. Set "Application" > "Eric" > "ProxyHost" to <your-proxy-hostname-or-ipaddress>
   The SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocol without authentication is supported. The protocol name must precede the host name, e.g, socks4://example.proxy.com

2. Set “Application” > “Eric” > “ProxyPort” to <your-proxy-port>

3. Set “Application” > “Eric” > “ProxyUsername” to <your-proxy-username> if required by <your-proxy-hostname-or-ipaddress>

4. Set “Application” > “Eric” > “ProxyPassword” to <your-proxy-password> if required by <your-proxy-hostname-or-ipaddress>

5. Set “Application” > “Eric” > “ProxyAuthenticationType” to either "Any", "Basic", "Digest", "DigestIE", "NTLM", "SPNEGO"

Save your changes and restart the application, if it is already running.
