Getting the COM PAC File Address

Last Updated : Jan 22, 2021 |
Prolog information
HTTPS browser connection for remote support through COM requires the use of a browser 'proxy auto-configuration' (.pac) file. The COM server hosts a .pac file, the address of which can be used for the connection.
The commands inside the .pac file look for a match to the URL entered in browser and, when a match occurs, redirects it. In this case, it redirects any request for a URL containing .maint. to COM. COM then uses the original address to route the request to the required customer server.
Note:
  • The same address can be used for all customer's managed through a particular COM server.
Before you begin
  1. View the customer list (see Viewing the Customer List) and click on the customer's systems name.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • Any customer already setup for remote connection can be selected. The same address is used for all customer's managed through a particular COM server.
  2. Click on Remote Support Services.
  3. Click HTTP Access Information.
  4. Note the address shown for the PAC file URL. For example: https://admin.example.com/com/remoteproxy/proxy.pac
  5. Click the Copy to Clipboard icon to copy and paste the address into a text document or into your browser settings (see Browser PAC File Configuration).
