Creating Dr.Web Proxy Server Account

warning

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

Creating Dr.Web Proxy Server account using Dr.Web Security Control Center

1.For the parent group where Dr.Web Proxy Server will be created, specify the settings as described in the Administrator Manual, section Remote configuration of proxy server. In this case, the specified settings will be inherited by Dr.Web Proxy Server upon connection. You can specify these settings after Dr.Web Proxy Server account is created (both for the parent group in the case of inheritance, and individually for Dr.Web Proxy Server itself), but before Dr.Web Proxy Server connects to the account being created.

info

If the settings are not specified before connecting Dr.Web Proxy Server, the configuration file will not be downloaded. Dr.Web Proxy Server uses the current configuration until the configuration is set on the connected Dr.Web Server, if Dr.Web Server is allowed to manage the configuration.

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

3.The actions required to set up Dr.Web Proxy Server depend on whether you want to install Dr.Web Proxy Server on an existing station with Dr.Web Agent or separately:

info

If you create Dr.Web Proxy Server account for installation on a station with Dr.Web Agent, Dr.Web Proxy Server installation will be performed automatically by Dr.Web Agent in the background mode after Dr.Web Proxy Server account is created (see also Installing Dr.Web Proxy Server as Part of Dr.Web Agent for Windows Installation).

If you create Dr.Web Proxy Server account for separate installation (without connection to Dr.Web Agent), Dr.Web Proxy Server should be installed manually by the administrator from the installation package included in the Dr.Web Server distribution kit.

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

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

info

The name specified during the setup is automatically replaced with the computer name after Dr.Web Proxy Server is connected to Dr.Web Server.

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

warning

The identifier and password used to set up Dr.Web Proxy Server are the same for all Dr.Web Servers. You must create Dr.Web Proxy Server accounts with the same credentials on all Dr.Web Servers to which Dr.Web Proxy Server connects (see Connecting Dr.Web Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server).

 

You will not be able to edit the identifier after Dr.Web Proxy Server account is created.

7.In steps 3.b) and 3.c), the Station field specifies the existing station with the Dr.Web Agent installed to connect to this Dr.Web Proxy Server.

In step 3.b), the Station field is automatically filled with the identifier of the selected station.

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

To specify a station where Dr.Web Proxy Server will be installed, click icon-item-edit and in the window that opens, select the existing station from the anti-virus network tree.

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

8.In the Membership section, you can specify a group to which the created Dr.Web Proxy Server should belong. To change the group, set the flag next to the required group in the displayed list.

The Proxy Server can be included in one group only.

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

9.Click Save.

A windows will appear informing you that Dr.Web Proxy Server has been successfully created. It also contains the password to connect to Dr.Web Server. To view the password, click icon-show-password.

info

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