Automatic Proxy Configuration

Manually configuring proxy settings may be a complicated task for many end users. Use automatic proxy settings to ensure that correct proxy settings are applied without requiring any user intervention.

When enabled, automatic proxy settings are the primary proxy settings when clients update components either through automatic update or Update Now. For information on automatic update and Update Now, see Client Update Methods.

If clients cannot connect using the automatic proxy settings, client users with the privilege to configure proxy settings can use user-configured proxy settings. Otherwise, connection using the automatic proxy settings will be unsuccessful.

Proxy authentication is not supported.

Automatically Detect Settings

OfficeScan automatically detects the administrator-configured proxy settings by DHCP or DNS.

Use Automatic Configuration Script

OfficeScan uses the proxy auto-configuration (PAC) script set by the network administrator to detect the appropriate proxy server.
