How to configure SAS® Enterprise Guide® to bypass a proxy server


Some tasks and functions in SAS Enterprise Guide make calls to the SAS Web Server. If you have a proxy server that is configured in Internet Explorer, all web traffic from SAS Enterprise Guide is routed to your defined proxy. To bypass the proxy, follow these steps.

  1. Navigate to your SAS Enterprise Guide installation directory.
  2. Locate the SEGuide.exe.config file and make a backup copy before making any changes.
  3. Using a text editor, open the SEGuide.exe.config file for editing.
  4. In the file, find the lines starting with <Configuration> and ending with </Configuration> and add these lines between them:
  <!-- Bypass proxy server -->
   <system.net>
     <defaultProxy enabled="false">  
     </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>
