This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi everyone,
I am searching for the place in which i am defining a proxy for the endpoint machines in the management console.

I have found that in the server administration settings there is a tab for proxy, but i am not certain that it relevant to the agents.

Thanks in advance,

the settings you looking is only for the SEPM machine. From SEPM you cannot set proxy for SEP clients.

The proxy settings on client can be set using AD or manual configuration on client side.

Cheers!

Hi,

Of course the proxy tab in the SEPM is for the definition download, the question is where can i define the proxy for definition download on the SEP clients (not the IE Proxy).

Best regards,

SEP clients can download from SEPM, Internal LUA or symantec liveupdate using the LU policy.

Hello,

There are 3 places you would have to check to make sure that the proxy settings are correctly set.

1) SEPM

In the console, click Admin, and then click Servers.
Under Servers, select the management server to which you want to connect a proxy server.
Under Tasks, click Edit the server properties.
On the Proxy Server tab, under either HTTP Proxy Settings or FTP Proxy Settings, for Proxy usage, select Use custom proxy settings.
Type in the proxy settings.

For more information on these settings, click Help.
Click OK.

2) Liveupdate Application under Control Panel

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. The Windows Control Panel appears.
Double-click Symantec LiveUpdate. The LiveUpdate Configuration dialog box appears.
Click the HTTP tab.
Select I want to customize my HTTP settings for LiveUpdate.
Select Use a proxy server for HTTP connections.

Enter the IP address and port.
In case it needs to be authorized to go out through the proxy, select that option, and enter Username and Password for both FTP and HTTP.

Note: The Username and Password for the proxy server are not the same as Internet service provider (ISP).
