CM_ProxyEntries Configuration Service Provider
4/8/2010
The CM_ProxyEntries Configuration Service Provider configures proxy connections on the device.
Note
This Configuration Service Provider is managed over the OMA Client Provisioning protocol. To provision devices using the OMA DM protocol, use the PROXY Configuration Service Provider instead. Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by security roles. Because OEMs and mobile operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.
The nocharacteristic tag will work on the top two levels to delete all, or specific, entries.
The following table shows the default settings. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode.

Characteristics
- <entryname>
Specifies settings for the <entryname> parameter that sets the name of the connection. Settings under this characteristic specify parameters for this proxy connection.
Parameters
Enable
This parameter can be used in the <entryname> characteristic to enable or disable a connection entry without removing it from the system. Permitted values are 0 for OFF or 1 for ON.The following table shows the default settings.

Extrainfo
Used in the <entryname> characteristic to store additional information that does not fit appropriately into any of the other proxy fields. Typically, this parameter is used to store additional WAP proxy information.The following table shows the default settings.

DestId
Used in the <entryname> characteristic as a GUID that represents the unique ID of the network to which this entry connects. See the Connmgr.h header for predefined GUID values IID_DestNet*.Typically, a proxy connection connects from a private network to the Internet, so the value of DestId would be that of IID_DestNetInternet, which is "{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}."

Password
Used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the password of the proxy entry, if one exists. Passwords are only required for WAP and SOCKS proxies and are not used for HTTP proxies. Queries of this field return a string composed of asterisks (*).When setting the password, passing in the same string causes the new password to be ignored and does not change the existing password.

This parameter is used in the <entryname> characteristic and determines whether users are able to modify proxy settings. Permitted values are 0 for false and 1 for true. If the value is set to 1, users will be able to view, but not change, the proxy settings on the device.The following table shows the default settings.

Type
Used in the <entryname> characteristic to specify the type of the proxy entry. Possible values are:- 0 for null proxies
- 1 for HTTP proxies
- 2 for WAP proxies
- 4 for SOCKS4 proxies
- 5 for SOCKS5 proxies
The value of 0 is reserved to denote a null proxy. This value can be used to allow Connection Manager to treat one network as a superset of another network by creating a null proxy from one network to the other.
