Hi

I'm trying to connect to our MarketingCloud (ExactTarget) SOAP using one of the data flow components, but I'm getting error 407 (Proxy authentication required). How can I work around this? And preferably without having involve our IT department, as they are slow pokes. The proxy port on my MarketingCloud connection manager is set to 3128.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to connect to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud via a proxy, you need to set the proxy parameters in your connection. For this, edit your ExactTarget connection, click Advanced and find proxy parameters: http://prntscr.com/jy078l

Can you connect with the "Proxy Host", "Proxy Password", "Proxy Port" and "Proxy User" parameters configured?

I haven't set up a proxy, and the component won't allow me to remove the port 3128 as shown in your screenshot.

It is the Visual Studio component validation. You can specify a null value for the integer property. 3128 is a default value. If you do not change it, the Proxy Port parameter is not even added to the result connection string.

If we understood you correctly, the proxy connection is required in your situation. Thus, you need to specify proxy parameters for the proxy connection.
