Using proxy servers

An Internet connection is required for the automatic update. If access to the Internet is only possible via a proxy server, this has to be configured for each DriveLock Enterprise Service.

The following options are available:

• Use proxy server for connections to the Internet: The proxy server specified here will be used to access the Internet. It may be necessary to specify a port separated by ":", e.g.: proxy.internal.example.com:8080

• Authenticate to the proxy server: Must only be specified if anonymous access via the proxy is not possible.

• User name: A user who is allowed to access the Internet through the proxy. If necessary, the domain must also be specified, e.g.: domain\internet_user

• Password: The password that matches the user.

• Authentication type: Different authentication types are provided for authentication to the proxy server. The proxy server must support the option selected here:

  • Basic: User and password are transmitted in plain text

  • NTLM: The user specified there is used for Internet access. The password is transmitted encrypted.

  • Windows: Windows integrated login, the service account from DriveLock Enterprise Service is used for Internet access (and not the user specified in the dialog).
