    IT Security Settings

    Please ensure that proxy settings do not prevent Panaya from performing correctly.

    If you have an anti-virus, VPN, Remote Machine, or Virtual Machine, you should add Panaya to the safe domains list. Sites on this list do not require a proxy or any other security permission.

    Please add *.panaya.com to your white list or exception lists (e.g., proxy, anti-virus, etc.).

    Alternatively, add the following URL's to your white-list:
    my.panaya.com or emea.panaya.com
    cdn.panaya.com
    sso-us.panaya.com or sso-emea.panaya.com
