network proxy host

<ip-address>	IP address for the host.
port <port>	Specifies the port for the host.
user-cred	Specifies the user credentials for the autolicensing feature: • username <username> - Specifies the username. • password <password> - Specifies the password in cleartext format.
authtype <authentication-type>	Specifies the authentication type: • basic - Authenticates user credentials by requesting a valid username and password. This is the default setting. • digest - Provides the same functionality as basic authentication; however, digest authentication improves security because the system sends the user credentials across the network as a Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash. • ntlm - Authenticates user credentials based on an authentication challenge and response.

Use this command to enable the SteelHead to use a web proxy to contact the Riverbed licensing portal and fetch licenses in a secure environment. You can optionally require user credentials to communicate with the web proxy for use with the autolicensing feature. You can specify the method used to authenticate and negotiate these user credentials.
