Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)
Issue/Introduction
After running the MSI install command using the PROXY_SERVER, cfg.ini shows the PROXYSERVER field as blank
Sensor is still installed and checks into the server
Environment
Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: 3.5.0
Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
MSI Install Package
Cause
The proxy settings are removed from cgf.ini and stored in the database
Resolution
This is behaving as designed in an effort to prevent the information being stored in plain text. Sensor communication will still flow through the proxy
Additional Information
The move of the setting should be logged in the installer logs present under %TEMP% or C:\Windows\temp
CDeviceRegistration::cleanup: Clear unencrypted proxy info from cfg.ini
