Creating Repositories
Ensuring access to the source site
Ensuring access to the source site
Use these tasks to ensure the master repository and managed systems can access the Internet
when using the McAfeeHttp and the McAfeeFtp sites as source and fallback sites. McAfee
recommends using the Internet Explorer proxy server settings.
You can also configure proxy server settings from the console. You may need to do this if you
cannot use the proxy settings in your Internet Explorer browser or if you do not use a proxy
server.
Tasks
Using Internet Explorer proxy settings for the master repository
Configuring custom proxy settings for the master repository
Using Internet Explorer proxy settings for the master repository
Use these tasks to configure both Internet Explorer and ePolicy Orchestrator to use Internet
Explorer proxy settings. If a source site must be accessed via the Internet, such as the McAfee
update sites, the master repository uses proxy settings to retrieve packages. If your organization
uses proxy servers to connect to the Internet, you must use the proxy server.
By default, ePO is configured to use the proxy settings for the Internet Explorer browser that
is installed on your ePO server.
NOTE:
A user must be logged on to the ePO server sytem for the scheduled tasks to run when
using Internet Explorer proxy settings. If you do not want to leave an account logged on to the
server (even if locked), you must manually enter proxy authentication information.
Tasks
