Configuring proxy server settings in the Administration Console
In the Administration Console, you can configure the use of a proxy server in the policy properties (General settings → Proxy server settings).
Proxy server settings
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
Do not use proxy server |
If this option is selected, the application does not use a proxy server. |
Specify the proxy server settings |
If you select this option the application uses the specified proxy server settings to connect to Kaspersky activation servers, to update sources for databases and application modules, to Kaspersky Security Network, and when verifying website certificates using the Web Threat Protection component. |
Address and port |
Fields for entering the proxy server's IP address or domain name as well as its port. Default port: 3128. These fields are available if the Use the specified proxy server settings option is selected. |
Use proxy server authentication |
This check box enables or disables proxy server authentication using a user name and password. This check box is available if the Use the specified proxy server settings option is selected. This check box is cleared by default. 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 |
Enables or disables the use of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server as a proxy server for accessing Kaspersky activation servers. This is necessary when activating the application in an isolated network segment without internet access using an activation code. If this check box is selected, the application gains access to activation servers via the Administration Server that has internet access. This check box is cleared by default. |
