# Edit OmniPortlet provider: Provider properties

| Field Descriptions | Related Help Topics | Additional Information |

Use this page to:

- View the location of the provider

When you set the proxy information for the provider, the proxy is set in the provider definition in the middle tier. This proxy must be the same as that defined within Oracle9iAS Portal. You can define the proxy in Oracle9iAS Portal by going to the Administer page. On the Portal tab, click Proxy Settings.
