Creating Dr.Web Proxy Server Account

warning

The administrator must create the Proxy Server accounts on each Dr.Web Server to which the Proxy is going to connect (and forward the traffic).

To create the Proxy Server account via Dr.Web Security Control Center

1.For the parent group into which you are going to create the Proxy Server, specify the settings as described in the Administrator Manual, in the Remote Configuration of the Proxy Server section. In this case, the specified settings will be inherited by the Proxy Server at connect. You can specify these settings after creation of the Proxy Server account (as for the parent group in case of inheritance, and personally for the Proxy Server itself), but before the connection of the Proxy Server to the creating account.

info

If the settings have not been specified before the Proxy Server connection, the configuration file will not be downloaded. Proxy Server uses the current configuration until the configuration on the connected Dr.Web Server is set, provided that Dr.Web Server is allowed to manage the configuration.

2.Select the Anti-virus network item in the main menu of the Control Center.

3.Steps to create the Proxy Server depend on whether you want to install the Proxy Server on an existing station with Dr.Web Agent or to install the Proxy Server separately:

Actions

Install with the Agent

Install separately

a)

1.In the anti-virus network tree, select a station to install the connected Proxy-server.

2.On the properties pane of the selected station, go to the Proxy Server section.

+

b)

1.In the anti-virus network tree, select a station to install the connected Proxy-server.

2.On the toolbar, select icon-add-object Add a network object → icon-add-proxy Create Proxy Server.

+

+

c)

1.Make sure, no station is selected in the anti-virus network tree.

2.On the toolbar, select icon-add-object Add a network object → icon-add-proxy Create Proxy Server.

+

info

If you are creating the Proxy Server account for installation on a station with the Agent, the Proxy Server installation will be performed automatically via the Agent in the background mode after the Proxy Server account is created (see also Installing Dr.Web Proxy Server within Dr.Web Agent for Windows Installation).

If you are creating the Proxy Server account for the separate installation (with no connection with the Agent), the Proxy Server must be installed by administrator manually from the installation package supplied with the Dr.Web Server distribution kit.

4.In the Identifier field, unique identifier of created account will be generated automatically. You can edit it, if necessary.

5.In the Name field, specify the Proxy Server name that will be displayed in the anti-virus network tree.

info

Name specified at creation will be automatically replaced with the computer name after the Proxy Server is connected to Dr.Web Server.

6.In the Password and Confirm Password fields, you can specify a password for accessing Dr.Web Server by the Proxy Server. If the password is not specified, it will be generated automatically.

warning

Proxy Server identifier and password are used in a single copy. You must create the Proxy Server accounts with the same credentials on all Dr.Web Servers to which the Proxy Server connects (see Connecting Dr.Web Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server).

 

You cannot edit the identifier after creation of the Proxy Server account.

7.For the steps 3.b) and 3.c), the Station field contains the existing station with the installed Agent to connect with this Proxy Server.

For the step 3.b), in the Station field, identifier of the selected station will be added automatically.

For the step 3.c), the Station field is empty.

To specify a station for the Proxy Server installation, click icon-item-edit and in the opened window, select the existing station from the anti-virus network tree.

Leave the Station field blank to not link the Proxy Server to any of the stations and connect the manually installed Proxy Server. If the Station field already specified, click icon-general-remove-object-grey to remove the connected station.

8.In the Membership section, you can specify a group to include the created Proxy Server. To change the group, set the flag next to the necessary group in the given list.

The Proxy Server can be included into one group only.

You can select the pre-installed Proxies group and its subgroups only.

9.Click Save.

The opened window contains information about successful creation of the Proxy Server and its password to access Dr.Web Server. To view the password, click icon-show-password.

info

Administrator needs identifier and password of the Proxy Server account created in the Control Center to connect the Proxy server to Dr.Web Server:

During the Proxy Server installation via the graphical installer.

Manually after the Proxy Server installation (for UNIX system-based OS only).
