When configuring default settings of a Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy, setting values are saved but not applied until you enable them.

You can enable settings by enabling groups in which the settings reside. In one policy you can enable some groups of settings or all groups of settings.

To enable a group of settings in the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy:

  1. Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the console tree, open the Policies folder.
  3. Select a policy for Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and open its settings window in one of the following ways:
    • Double-click on the name of the policy.
    • In the context menu of the policy, select Properties.
  4. In the opened window, select the Application settings tab.
    1. Select the Other settings subsection.
    2. Select one of the following options for using a proxy server:
      • Do not use proxy server.
      • Use proxy server with specified settings.

      If you selected Use proxy server with specified settings, in the Server name or IP address and Port, enter the address and port of the proxy server to which you want to connect. Port 8080 is used by default.

      Kaspersky Endpoint Agent does not encrypt the connection with the proxy server. You must take steps to make sure the network connection between your proxy server and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is secure.

      If you want to use NTLM authentication when connecting to the proxy server:

      1. Select the Use NTLM authentication by user name and password.
      2. In the User name field, enter the name of the user whose account will be used for authorization at the proxy server.
      3. In the Password field, enter the password to obtain connection to the proxy server.

      To reveal password characters, click Show to the right of the Password field.

      If you do not want to use the proxy server for addresses internal to the organization, select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.

    3. Click Apply.
  5. Select the KATA integration section.
    1. Go to the General Settings subsection.
