The Proxy Server Panel

You can use this panel to define a proxy server that the agent will use to communicate with the Ivanti Endpoint Security Server.

You can use proxy servers to facilitate the communication between the agent and the server.

If you have configured a proxy server to serve as an intermediary between your Ivanti Endpoint Security Agents and your Ivanti Endpoint Security server, you can configure your Ivanti Endpoint Security Agent to use that proxy from the Proxy Server panel. This panel features user-definable fields you can complete to enable the Ivanti Endpoint Security Agent for proxy communication.

If the Patch and Remediation endpoint module is installed on your endpoint, the fields for this panel are unavailable. On endpoints featuring the Patch and Remediation endpoint module, proxy configuration is defined using the Patch Agent.
