2.4.7 connection Settings and configuring a Proxy Server
If your computer uses a proxy server to access the internet and KDM is unable to determine your proxy
server’s address then you will need to enter the proxy server address, proxy type and credentials.
To configure your proxy serer settings:
1. Click on the
KDM icon
located in the task bar and then select the
connection Settings
option
from the popup menu.
Note:
Linux users must right-click on the
KDM icon
in the task bar.
2. The ‘connection preferences’ window appears.
3. Enter the proxy address and the port to connect to in the ‘Address’ field (e.g. 192.168.0.193:8080
or proxycomp:8080).
4. Select the proxy type from the drop down menu.
5. Enter your credentials in the ‘User name’ and ‘Password’ fields.
6. Click the
oK button
to save the proxy configuration.
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.
