External Proxy for Clients

The OfficeScan server and client can use external proxy settings when connecting to servers hosted by Trend Micro. This topic discusses external proxy settings for clients. For external proxy settings for the server, see Proxy for OfficeScan Server Updates.

Clients use the proxy settings configured in Internet Explorer to connect to the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. If proxy server authentication is required, clients will use proxy server authentication credentials (user ID and password).

To configure proxy server authentication credentials:

• Administration > Proxy Settings

1. Click the External Proxy tab.

2. Go to the Client Connection with Trend Micro Servers section.

3. Type the user ID and password needed for proxy server authentication and then confirm the password.

The following proxy authentication protocols are supported:

• Basic access authentication

• Digest access authentication

• Integrated Windows Authentication

4. Click Save.
