Manually Applying Proxy Settings to Multiple Endpoints After an Upgrade

After upgrading the Endpoint Security (HX) Agent software on your endpoint to , you can use an API custom configuration channel to manually add a proxy policy to the agent 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 agent configuration file for your Windows, macOS, or Linux endpoints:


`{` `"proxy": {` `"type": "manual",` `"enabled": true,` `"host": "<hostname or IP>",` `"port": 80,` `"exclude_hosts": ["eng.fireeye.com", "host.fireeye.com"],` `"exclude_local_hosts": true,` `"username": "<proxy-user>",` `"password": "<proxy-user-password>",` `"failed_retry_delay": 1200` `}`

{

"proxy": {

"type": "manual",

"enabled": true,

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

"port": 80,

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

"exclude_local_hosts": true,

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

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

"failed_retry_delay": 1200

}

Important

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.
