# Configure the Proxy for RMS

When KeyView needs to access contents that are protected by the Microsoft Rights Management System (RMS), it must make HTTP requests. By default, KeyView uses the system proxy settings for these requests.

To use different proxy settings, you can configure them in the `[RMS]` section of the `formats.ini` configuration file. The following table describes the available options.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
`UseSystemProxy` | Whether to obtain details about your HTTP proxy from the system. By default, this parameter is set to `TRUE`, which means: On Microsoft Windows platforms, KeyView reads the proxy settings that are configured in the Windows Control Panel. On Linux, KeyView reads the proxy settings from environment variables such as `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY`. You can use `UseSystemProxy` instead of setting the other proxy parameters (`ProxyHost`, `ProxyPort`, `ProxyUsername`, and `ProxyPassword`). When `UseSystemProxy` is set to `TRUE`, you must remove these other parameters from your configuration. Set `UseSystemProxy` to `FALSE` to use different proxy settings. In this case you must set at least `ProxyHost` and `ProxyPort`.
`ProxyHost` | The host name or IP address of the proxy server.
`ProxyPassword` | The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
`ProxyPort` | The port of the proxy server to use to access the repository. This port must be greater than 0, and less than 65535.
`ProxyUsername` | The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
