Configure system account proxy

During this task we will configure a system level proxy. A system level proxy applies to all users of the system.

1. Download pstools from Microsoft at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pstools.
2. As administrator, open a command prompt and run:
   
   Copy

   PSExec to run internet explorer as System account

   psexec -i -s "c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

3. Click Tools (gear) > Internet options.
4. Select the Connections tab.
5. Click LAN Settings.
6. In the Proxy server section:
   1. Enable Use proxy server for your LAN.
   2. Enter Address and Port for the proxy server.
   3. Click OK.
7. Click OK.
8. Exit Internet explorer.

After configuring a proxy, the system responds as follows:

• If the proxy is running, users can access the okta widget for MFA and sign in.
• If the proxy is not running, users receive the message Multifactor Authentication Failed, and the system log shows a connectFailure error.
