Configure proxy and network settings

Configure how MathType Integration Services communicate with external services. If your deployment is behind a firewall or requires outbound connections through a proxy server, you can configure the appropriate network settings in Integration Services.

After completing this guide, MathType Integration Services will be able to communicate with external services using your organization's network configuration.

Before you begin

Requirements

Make sure you have:

• A working MathType Integration Services deployment.
• Access to the configuration.ini file.
• The network settings required by your organization, if a proxy server is used.

Applies to

Self-hosted MathType Integration Services.

Steps

Determine your network requirements

Most deployments can communicate directly with external services without additional configuration. If your organization restricts outbound connections, determine whether Integration Services must:

• Access the internet through an HTTP proxy.
• Use specific proxy credentials.
• Communicate only through approved firewall rules.

Configure the proxy settings

Open configuration.ini and configure the proxy settings required for your deployment. Depending on your environment, this may include:

• Proxy host.
• Proxy port.
• Authentication credentials.
• Other proxy-related options.

Apply the configuration

Depending on your deployment, configuration changes may require restarting the service.

Verify the configuration

Verify that the configuration endpoint returns the expected configuration.

Verify it worked

Verify that MathType Integration Services can successfully communicate with the required external services. If your deployment includes diagnostic or test pages, use them to verify outbound connectivity.

You can also verify the configuration by:

• Opening your HTML editor.
• Inserting a formula.
• Confirming that all editor features work as expected without network-related errors.

Common issues

Integration Services cannot reach external services

Verify that:

• Outbound network access is allowed.
• The configured proxy settings are correct.
• Firewall rules allow the required connections.

Proxy authentication fails

Verify that:

• The configured credentials are correct.
• The proxy server supports the configured authentication method.
• The proxy configuration matches your organization's requirements.

Requests time out

Verify that:

• The configured proxy server is reachable.
• Firewall rules are not blocking outbound requests.
• Network latency or connectivity issues are not preventing communication.
