If the proxy does not require authentication, you do not need to specify the account name and password. Keep in mind that only the basic authentication method is supported for connection to a proxy.

For example:

[cloudconnect]

...

# HTTP proxy login
httpproxylogin= user01

# HTTP proxy password
httpproxypasswd= P@ssw0rd

# HTTP proxy URL for CRL checks
httpproxyurl= http://proxy.company.lan:3128
