Selecting the Use global proxy server settings option will use the
proxy server configuration options already specified within the
Miscellaneous > Proxy server branch of the Advanced Setup tree.
Select the Do not use proxy server option to specify that no proxy
server will be used to update ESET Smart Security.
The Connection through a proxy server option should be selected
if a proxy server should be used to update ESET Smart Security and
is dierent from the proxy server specified in the global settings
(Miscellaneous > Proxy server). If so, the settings should be specified
here: Proxy server address, communication Port, plus Username and
Password for the proxy server, if required.
This option should also be selected if the proxy server settings were
not set globally, but ESET Smart Security will connect to a proxy server
for updates.
The default setting for the proxy server is Use global proxy server
settings.
4.4.1.2.3 Connecting to the LAN
When updating from a local server with an NT‑based operating
system, authentication for each network connection is required by
default. In most cases, a local system account does not have sucient
rights to access the Mirror folder (the Mirror folder contains copies of
update files). If this is the case, enter the username and password in
the update setup section, or specify an existing account under which
the program will access the update server (Mirror).
To configure such an account, click the LAN tab. The Connect to LAN
as section oers the System account (default), Current user, and
Specified user options.
Select the System account (default) option to use the system
account for authentication. Normally, no authentication process
takes place if there is no authentication data supplied in the main
update setup section.
To ensure that the program authenticates using a currently logged‑in
user account, select Current user. The drawback of this solution is
that the program is not able to connect to the update server if no user
is currently logged in.
Select Specified user if you want the program to use a specific user
account for authentication.
Warning: When either Current user or Specified user is selected, an
error may occur when changing the identity of the program to the
desired user. We recommend inserting the LAN authentication data
in the main update setup section. In this update setup section, the
authentication data should be entered as follows: domain_name\user
(if it is a workgroup, enter workgroup_name\name) and password.
When updating from the HTTP version of the local server, no
authentication is required.
4.4.1.2.4 Creating update copies – Mirror
ESET Smart Security Business Edition allows you to create copies of
update files which can be used to update other workstations located
in the network. Updating client workstations from a Mirror optimizes
network load balance and saves Internet connection bandwidth.
Configuration options for the local Mirror server are accessible (after
adding a valid license key in the license manager, located in the ESET
Smart Security Business Edition Advanced Setup section) in the
Advanced update setup: section. To access this section, press F5
and click Update in the Advanced Setup tree, then click the Setup...
button next to Advanced update setup: and select the Mirror tab).
