Installing Proxy Server via the Installer

warning

To install the Proxy server, you must have administrator permissions on this computer.

The Proxy Server Installation under Windows OS

1.Create the Proxy server account via the Control Center as described in the Creating of the Proxy Server Account section.

2.Copy the certificate of the Server to which the Proxy server will be connected (see Connecting the Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server) and the Proxy server installer supplied with the Server distribution kit, to a station where you plan to install.

3.Run the Proxy server installer. A window of Installation Wizard with information about the program to be installed will be opened. Click Next.

4.In the Proxy server parameters window, on the General tab, specify the following general parameters:

In the Path to program data field, if necessary, change the path to place the files used by the Proxy server: operation log, configuration files, cache. Path by default is %PROGRAMDATA%/Doctor Web/drwcs. To select another path, click Browse.

In the Address to listen field, specify the IP address that will be "listened" by the Proxy server. By default, it is any (0.0.0.0) value, which means "listen" for all interfaces.

info

Addresses should be specified in the network addresses format described in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses.

In the Port field, specify the number of port that will be "listened" by the Proxy server. By default, it is the 2193 port.

Set the Enable discovery flag to enable the Server imitation mode. This mode allows clients to detect the Proxy server as Dr.Web Server during its search via multicast requests.

Set the Enable multicasting flag so that the Proxy server replies to multicast requests addressed to the Server.

In the Multicast group field, specify an IP address of a multicast group to include the Proxy server. Specified interface will be listened by the Proxy server for interaction with clients during active Dr.Web Servers searching. If you leave this field blank, the Proxy server will not be included in any of multicast groups. Default multicast group to which the Server is included is 231.0.0.1.

In the Settings for connection with clients section:

In the Encryption drop-down list, select the encryption mode of traffic for channels between Proxy server and served clients: Agents and Agent installers.

In the Compression drop-down list, select the compression mode of traffic for channels between Proxy server and served clients: Agents and Agent installers. In the Level field, select the compression level (from 1 to 9).

5.On the Cache tab, specify the following caching parameters of the Proxy server:

Set the Enable caching flag to cache the data transferred by the Proxy server and specify the following parameters:

In the Revisions deleting interval (min) field, specify the interval for deleting old revisions from the cache if their number exceeds the maximum number of revisions to remain. The value is set in minutes. Default is 60 minutes.

In the Number of revisions to remain field, specify the maximum number of each product revisions to remain in the cache after the cleanup. By default, 3 last revisions are stored, the older revisions are deleted.

In the Unload interval of unused files (min) field, specify the time interval in minutes for unloading unused files from the memory. Default is 10 minutes.

In the Integrity check mode drop-down list, select the integrity check mode for data stored in the cache:

At startup—at startup of the Proxy server (may take a long time).

Idle—at the downtime of the Proxy server operating.

After you specified cache settings, click Next.

6.A window for configuring connections forwarding will be opened:

In the Redirection settings section, specify an address of Dr.Web Server to which the connections that are established by the Proxy server, will be forwarded.

info

Addresses should be specified in the network addresses format described in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses.

In the Encryption drop-down lists, select the encryption mode of traffic for channels between Proxy server and each of the specified Dr.Web Servers.

In the Compression drop-down lists, select the compression mode of traffic for channels between Proxy server and each of the specified Dr.Web Servers. In the Level drop-down list, select the compression level (from 1 to 9).

To add one more Server into the traffic forwarding list, click icon-item-add and specify the settings listed above.

To remove the Server from the traffic forwarding list, click icon-item-remove next to the Server you want to remove.

info

After installation is complete, the Proxy server connects to the first Server from this section to receive the settings.

If the Proxy server configuration is specified on the Server, all the settings specified in the installer will be replaced with the new configuration received from the Server.

After you specify forwarding settings, click Next.

7.A window with Dr.Web Server connection settings for remote control, opens.

The connection is established with the first Server specified at step 6 for the traffic forwarding.

In the Server certificate field, specify the certificate file copied to the station on step 2. To select the file, click Browse.

In the Identifier and Password fields, specify credentials of the account created on the Server at step 1.

8.A window with information, that the Proxy server is ready to install, will be opened.

If you want to change additional installation parameters, particularly, the Proxy server installation folder, click Additional parameters.

To start the Proxy server installation, click Install.

9.Once the installation is complete, click Exit.

10.After the installation, the Proxy server connects to the first Server specified at step 6 to receive the complete configuration file. If the settings at the Server have not been specified, the configuration file will not be downloaded. Configuration specified by the installer will be used until the configuration on the connected Server is set.

The Proxy Server Installation under UNIX System-based OS

1.Run the Proxy server installer by executing the following command:

./<distribution_file>.tar.gz.run

2.To continue the installation, accept the licence agreement.

3.Specify the path to the Server certificate. You can also add the certificate after the Proxy server installation (see Connecting the Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server).

4.If necessary, you can use the configuration files from the previous Proxy server installation:

To use the default backup saved in /var/tmp/drwcsd-proxy, press Enter.

To use the backup from the other directory, specify the path to the backup manually.

Also, you can install the Proxy server with the default settings not using the backup configuration from the previous version. For this, press 0.

5.After the Proxy server installation, if necessary, you can edit the corresponding configuration files manually (see Connecting the Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server).

Start and Stop

During the software installation under FreeBSD OS, an rc script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dwcp_proxy is created. Use the commands:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dwcp_proxy stop—to stop the Proxy server manually;

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dwcp_proxy start—to start the Proxy server manually.

During the installation for Linux OS, an init script /etc/init.d/dwcp_proxy to start and stop the Server will be created.
