New support for proxy authentication in the FlexNet Beacon application

Note:This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

Previously, proxy connections on an inventory beacon could only be configured manually in the Windows Registry but not in the FlexNet Beacon application. In addition, only the anonymous authentication method was supported, which meant that users could not set up proxy connections requiring authentication with user name and password.

From this release, the FlexNet Beacon application supports proxy configuration for both anonymous authentication and authentication with user name and password. Users no longer need to edit the Windows Registry and can set up proxy connections with either authentication method directly in the FlexNet Beacon UI.
