Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X: how proxy settings are displayed
When you set up an updating policy in Sophos Enterprise Console, you have the choice of either providing or not providing proxy information. However, on the OS X client computer this is translated into one of three options:
- Use system proxy settings
- Use custom proxy settings
- Do not use proxy
The following table shows how Enterprise Console settings manifest on the OS X client:
| Setting in Enterprise Console | Shown in client computer as |
|---|---|
| Proxy is enabled, and a Proxy URL is entered | Use custom proxy settings |
| Proxy is enabled, no Proxy URL is entered | Do not use proxy* |
| Proxy is disabled, a Proxy URL is still present | Use system proxy settings |
| Proxy is disabled, no Proxy URL is present | Use system proxy settings |
* Enterprise Console 4.0, requires a proxy to be entered when this setting is enabled. If you wish to use the 'Do not use proxy' setting for a client computer, please configure the following proxy address in the updating policy in Enterprise Console 4:
