Configuring Kaspersky Endpoint Agent connection settings to a proxy server

Proxy server connection settings are used for updating databases, activating the application, and external services.

If you want to use a specified proxy server when connecting to the KATA server, Kaspersky Sandbox server, or Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks server, make sure that the Connect through a proxy server if specified in the general settings option is selected when configuring integration with KATA, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks or Kaspersky Sandbox. This option is not selected by default.

To configure proxy server connection settings:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
     1. In the tree of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, expand the Managed devices node.
     2. Expand the administration group whose policy settings you want to configure, and select the Policies tab in the results pane.

     4. Open the Properties: <Policy name> window in one of the following ways:
        • Select the Properties option in the context menu of the policy.
        • Click the Configure policy settings link in the results pane of the selected policy.
        • Double-click the required policy.

        The Properties: <Policy name> window opens.

   • To configure the settings of a task or application for an individual protected device, select the Devices tab and go to the settings of a local task or the application settings.
4. In the Application settings section, select the General settings subsection.
5. Select one of the following proxy service usage options:
   • Do not use proxy server.
   • Automatically detect proxy server address.
   • Use proxy server with the specified settings.
6. If you select the Automatically detect proxy server address option, the proxy server for further telemetry transmission will be detected automatically.
7. If you select the Use proxy server with the specified settings option, specify the address and port of the proxy server you want to connect to in the Server name or IP address and Port fields.

   The default port number is 8080.

8. If you want to use NTLM authentication (NT LAN Manager Network Authentication Protocol) to connect to the proxy server:
   1. Select the Use NTLM authentication by user name and password check box.
   2. In the User name field, enter the name of the user whose account will be used for proxy server authentication.
   3. In the Password field, enter the password for connecting to the proxy server.

      You can make password characters visible by clicking Show to the right of the Password field.

9. If you do not want to use the proxy server for the internal addresses of your organization, select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.
10. Click the Apply button.

    As a result, you will return to the policy properties window.
