Installing Dr.Web Proxy Server via the Installer

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

3.Copy the certificate of Dr.Web Server to which the Proxy Server will be connected (see Connecting Dr.Web Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server) and the Proxy Server installer to a station where you plan to install.

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

5.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.

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 Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Server is included is 231.0.0.1.

▫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).

6.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:

•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.

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 Dr.Web Servers into the traffic forwarding list, click

and specify the settings listed above.

To remove a Dr.Web Server from the traffic forwarding list, click

next to the Dr.Web Server you want to remove.

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

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

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

•In the Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Server at step 1.

9.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.

11.After the installation, the Proxy Server connects to the first Dr.Web Server specified at step 6 to receive the complete configuration file. If the settings at Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Server is set.

5.If necessary, you can use the configuration files from the previous Proxy Server installation:

•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.

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

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