Using The Reputation Service With A Proxy; Enabling The Reputation Service - Check Point HARMONY R81 Administration Manual

Using the Reputation Service with a Proxy

If your environment includes a proxy server for Internet access, do the configuration steps
below to let the Endpoint Security Management Server connect to the Check Point Reputation
Service Server through the proxy server. Note that all configuration entries are case-sensitive.
If your organization uses a proxy server for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, you must configure the
Endpoint Security Management Server to work with the proxy server.
To configure use of a proxy server:
1. From the Endpoint Security Management Server command line, run: cpstop.
2. Go to $UEPMDIR/engine/conf and open the local.properties file in a text editor.
3. Add a line for these properties:
n The proxy server IP address:
http.proxy.host=<IP address>
n The proxy server listening port (typically 8080):
http.proxy.port=<port>
n If authentication is enabled on the proxy server, add these lines:
Do not add these lines if authentication is not required.
http.proxy.user=<username>
http.proxy.password=<password>
Make sure that you delete (or do not insert) the '#' character at the beginning of these
lines. If you do not do this, all applications are blocked when trying to access the Internet.
4. Save $UEPMDIR/engine/conf/local.properties and then close the text editor.
5. Run: cpstart.

Enabling the Reputation Service
