ABCs5 Proxy

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between client and server parts of distributed network applications. The role of a transit node provides a logical break in the direct connection between the server and the client. A proxy server can also act as a firewall if the traffic it controls does not go through a workaround.

The proxy settings in Zoom are configured through the regular Windows settings. To do this, you can use the command inetcpl.cpl in "Run". Next, you need to go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Setup". In the dialog box that opens, select "Proxy server" and set the required parameters. As a port, you can use 80 and 443.

If you are having trouble adding a SonarQube server authentication token to Jenkins, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Verify SonarQube server URL and credentials: Ensure that you have the correct SonarQube server URL and credentials (username and password) for the authentication token. Double-check for any typos or errors in the information.

2. Generate a new authentication token: If you have already used the current authentication token or it has expired, generate a new one from the SonarQube server. To do this, log in to the SonarQube server, navigate to "Administration" > "Security" > "General Settings," and click the "Generate" button next to the "Authentication token" field. Copy the new token.

3. Update Jenkins with the new authentication token: In the Jenkins "Manage Jenkins" section, click on "Configure System." Scroll down to the "SonarQube Servers" section and select the SonarQube server you want to configure. Enter the updated SonarQube server URL, username, and the new authentication token in the respective fields. Save the changes.

4. Verify Jenkins plugin version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the SonarQube Scanner plugin for Jenkins. Outdated plugins might not be compatible with the latest SonarQube server version. To update the plugin, go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Plugins," find the SonarQube Scanner plugin, and click "Update."

5. Check Jenkins job configuration: Verify that your Jenkins job is configured to use the SonarQube server you just updated. In the job configuration, under the "Build" section, ensure that the "Analyze source code with SonarQube" checkbox is selected and the correct SonarQube server is selected from the dropdown menu.

6. Test the connection: Run a test Jenkins job to see if the connection to the SonarQube server is successful. If the job fails, check the console output for any error messages related to the SonarQube server or authentication token.

If you continue to face issues, consult the Jenkins and SonarQube documentation, or reach out to their support communities for further assistance.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.

Most users use A-Parser for this purpose. It is one of the best applications for checking web applications. There is a corresponding tab, "Proxy server", in the standard menu of A-Parser. It is where you can specify the settings for the connection. And in the "Tools" section you can use parameters for parsing.
