Every time I launch i2 Analyst's Notebook with the i2 Esri Map plug-in installed, a prompt requesting login to our proxy server is displayed.
Beginning in i2 Analyst's Notebook v9.1.1, the i2 Esri Maps plug-in supports secure Proxies.
Therefore, if your network requires proxy credentials, you will be prompted when i2 Analyst's Notebook attempts to load maps on launch.
One can set the proxy settings specific to Analyst's Notebook in ANB.exe.config , which is located in your installation directory, like C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM i2 ANB Premium 9
Important: Make a backup copy of ANB.exe.config before making any modifications.
If the proxy credentials required in your environment are your default credentials, you can add defaultProxy settings to your ANB.exe.config file within the <system.net> tags.
Set the values as recommended by your network administrator, and with input from Microsoft's .NET framework documentation
In the example below, adding <defaultProxy enabled="true"/> resolved the issue for a client.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
