PingID End User Guide

Enabling or disabling your proxy for PingID desktop

If your admin has run the script that enables proxy use for the PingID desktop app, you can use a menu option to disable proxy use or re-enable it. These menu options are visible only if the admin has run the proxy enablement script.

About this task

Some organizations use a proxy to communicate between the PingID desktop application configured on enterprise desktops and laptops and the PingID server. If this is the case in your organization, you must ensure your proxy is enabled. You might need to disable your proxy sometimes, for example, if you’re signing on to PingID from outside your company network.

If you see the error 'no network connection' when you launch the desktop application, there might be a problem with your proxy. Contact customer support for further assistance.

Steps

  1. To enable or disable communication by proxy, open the PingID application menu.

    Choose from:

    • Mac: click PingID, and then select or clear Proxy.

    • Windows: click Help, and then select or clear Proxy.

  2. Sign on to your account and enter the PingID passcode when prompted.
