appendix B - Proxy Support
If your computer uses a proxy server to access the internet, the correct proxy information will need to be
configured in KDM.
If the KDM client application cannot connect to the internet you will see the following error message:
If the computer that the Defender flash drive is connected to uses a proxy server to access the internet, click
on the
Yes
button. KDM will try to read the proxy server information from the computer’s configuration.
•
If KDM is able to determine your proxy server’s address and no authentication is required then
KDM will read this information and connect to the internet as normal.
•
If KDM is able to determine your proxy server’s address but the proxy requires authentication then
you will need to enter your credentials in the window that appears.
•
If KDM is unable to determine your proxy server’s address then you will need to enter the proxy
server address, proxy type and credentials:
Enter the proxy address and the port to connect to in the address field (e.g. 192.168.0.193:8080
or proxycomp:8080). Select your proxy type and then enter your credentials. If KDM is able to
connect to the proxy server using those credentials then the authentication information is saved in
an encrypted proxy settings file on the host computer.
Note:
Proxy information must be configured once for each computer the Defender flash drive is connected
to that connects to the internet through a proxy server.
