Proxy Settings

Why is a Proxy Server required?

When a direct internet connection is NOT available for CMS, a proxy server must be configured to enable CMS to:

1. Procure Threat Intelligence (related to Process and Library Monitoring)
2. Communicate with Cloud-based License Server

Configure Proxy Server

Only a super admin can add information related to Proxy Server as described below:

1. Navigate to Administration > Configurations in the left navigation pane
2. Expand Proxy Settings and click Enable Proxy
3. Provide the IP Address, Port and Test URL
4. Authentication Methods: There are three configurations available:
   1. User Credentials Disabled: This enables the Proxy server without any authentication 
   2. Basic Authentication: User authentication is enabled with the Authentication method as Basic. It requires Username and Password for Proxy server communication
   3. NTLM Authentication: User authentication is enabled with the Authentication method as NTLM.  Along with the Username and Password, ensure that the Domain information related to the Active Directory is also provided
