the Repositories tab of the McAfee Agent policy pages. Allowing agents to

update from any distributed repository ensures that they get the update

from some location.

NOTE: The agent selects a repository each time a change occurs in the repository list, IP

address, or policy option.

Proxy settings for the agent

To access the McAfee update sites, the agent must be able to access the Internet. Use the

agent policy settings to configure proxy server settings for managed systems. The Proxy tab

of the McAfee Agent policy pages includes these settings:

• Do not use a proxy (default setting)

• Use Internet Explorer proxy settings — This setting allows an agent in a Windows

environment to use the proxy server and credential information currently configured for

Internet Explorer. There are several methods to configure Internet Explorer for use with

proxies. For information, see Internet Explorer Help.

NOTE: When this setting is selected, the fields for specifying user authentication for HTTP

and FTP proxies become available, as well as the option Allow user to configure proxy

settings. By selecting this option, the administrator grants permission to the user of a

managed product to access additional update repositories that are configured behind the

proxy server.

• Configure the proxy settings manually — When this setting is selected, the fields for

specifying user authentication for HTTP and FTP proxies and exceptions become available.

This selection also allows the administrator to specify the HTTP and FTP locations using

DNS name, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address.
