Issue/Introduction

Environment

DCS 6.9.x

Resolution

The proxy settings configuration will be different depending on which version of DCS 6.9 is being used.

For DCS 6.9.2 and DCS 6.9.3

The DCS Manager will use the system proxy settings for all but the Reputation Data.

To download Reputation Data:

1. Go to <Server installation folder>\Symantec\Data Center Security Server\Server\tomcat\conf\
2. Edit sis-server.properties 
3. Add the following lines (they are already present but commented out with #)
   sisserver.http.proxyset=true
   sisserver.http.proxyhost=192.0.2.2
   sisserver.http.proxyport=3128 
4. Save the file
5. Restart the DCS Manager Service

For DCS 6.9.0, and DCS 6.9.1, this will need to be configured in 2 locations on the DCS Manager machine:
