Manually applying proxy settings to multiple endpoints after an upgrade

After upgrading the Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent software on your endpoint to 32.30.0 or later, you can use the API to manually add a proxy policy to the xAgent configuration file. This will add and apply the settings to your endpoints. Follow the instructions in "Using API Custom Configuration Channels" in the Endpoint Security Agent Administration Guide to manually add the following proxy server settings to the xAgent configuration file for your Windows, macOS, or Linux endpoints:

Proxy Server Settings
`{` `"proxy": {` `"type": "manual",` `"server": "<hostname or IP>",` `"port": 80,` `"exclude_hosts": ["eng.fireeye.com", "host.fireeye.com"],` `"exclude_local_hosts": true,` `"username": "<proxy-user>",` `"password": "<proxy-user-password>",` `"retry-delay": 1200` `}`

Proxy Server Settings

{

"proxy": {

"type": "manual",

"server": "<hostname or IP>",

"port": 80,

"exclude_hosts": ["eng.fireeye.com", "host.fireeye.com"],

"exclude_local_hosts": true,

"username": "<proxy-user>",

"password": "<proxy-user-password>",

"retry-delay": 1200

}

Note

If the proxy type value is set to manual, the only proxy setting you are required to change is the host setting.

The proxy host setting has no default value. When the proxy type is set to manual, you must provide a host value or your proxy server connection will fail.
