When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised.

User name

Entry field for the user name used for proxy server authentication.

The entry field is available if the Use proxy server authentication check box is selected.

Password

Entry field for entering the user password for proxy server authentication.

It is recommended to make sure that the password complexity and anti-bruteforce mechanisms ensure that the password cannot be guessed within 6 months.

Clicking the Show button causes the user's password to be displayed in clear text in the Password field. By default, the user password is hidden and is displayed as asterisks.

The text box and the button are available if the Use proxy server authentication check box is selected.

Use Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for application activation

This check box enables or disables use of Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for application activation.

If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for the application activation.

This check box is cleared by default.

This setting applies only if the application is used in Standard mode. If the application is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the license information is provided by the Protection Server.
