To manage application authentication using the command line interface:

On the device, run a command line interpreter (for example, Command Prompt cmd.exe) with the permissions of the local administrator.
Using the cd command, navigate to the folder where the Agent.exe file is located.
For example, you can type the following command cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\" and press Enter.
Run the following command and press Enter:
agent.exe --proxy={enable|disable|show} --mode={auto|custom} --server=<proxy server address> --port=<port number> --use-auth={yes|no} --proxy-user=<user name> --proxy-password=<user password> --bypass-local={yes|no}

The authentication parameters are described in the following table.
