App Connect (container): provide proxy support for accounts objects

Currently it is not possible to define proxies for the different account types in App Connect.  
This is a serious issue as in a real life there will be typically different external system - which require the settings.   
Important: the configuration is required per "external system connection" - means in App Connect terms per Account object.

    Even though this requirement has already been discussed bidirectionally, we would like to make it public and document it here.

    We bought App Connect to connect our legacy data center with SaaS applications in particular. We are currently unable to use ACE Designer for this purpose.
    There is no way to create connections in ACE Designer, as no proxy server can be specified. This is relevant for us in two cases:
    1) Installation of ACE CC in a legacy data center
    2) Installation of Designer Authoring (V13) as part of the ACE Toolkit on desktop PCs.

    In both cases, Internet services are only accessible via a proxy server. Connection requests to Internet services are not resolved or routed in the internal network. However, no proxy may be used for internal endpoints.

    We would therefore like Designer Connections to be able to have a proxy server specified for each connection/account (host+port).

    Idea Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request. Could you please let us know if this use case relates to using a Discovery connector as part of a Toolkit message flow, or a flow authored in Designer? We would also be interested in which specific connectors are needed and in which priority order? This would be helpful when prioritizing from a business point of view.
