Can I preconfigure IntelliJ with Proxy settings?
I work for a very large organization in which all of our applications get preconfigured, and then packaged before deployment to user's desktops.
We also have a proxy configuration that needs to be applied to every installation of IntelliJ/PyCharm, etc.
If I manually edit the proxy settings then I will see the configuration in ~/.IntelliJIdea<verson>/config/options/proxy.settings.xml - but is there a location where I can install this content that applies to all users?
Where does the configuration file which defines the proxy settings? I'd like to just add it to my package so that having installed IntelliJ, we just overwrite a single XML file (or whatever form the configuration takes). It would be best if we can do this without executing any IntelliJ component - the packaging tool is good ad "dumb" filesystem operations (e.g. copy, delete)

proxy.settings.xml file is stored in idea.config.path\options directory per user. See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544519.
The package installer has no idea about who the user is. Can I provide a default proxy configuration somehow? The purpose of this work is to eliminate the need for any user to manually edit proxy settings.
IDE settings are per user, there is no way to specify the proxy globally for all the users.
Thanks Serge, I guess I will abandon that idea!
