Getting started with Proxy metadata in xDI Designer

Follow this guide to get started with Proxy metadata.

Create the metadata

Open the Create Metadata wizard. Choose the Proxy type, and give your new metadata a meaningful name.

Right-click the top-level metadata node and select New > Proxy.

Property	Description
Name	User-defined label to help reference the entry later.
Host	Hostname or IP address of the proxy.
Port	Internet port to access the proxy.
Username	HTTP username for the proxy.
