Configure a Proxy for Linux (all Sensor Versions)

Use this procedure to configure a proxy through the cfg.ini file for all distributions.

Procedure

1. Extract the contents of the installer package into a temporary directory.
2. Use the install.sh script to install the agent, but do not provide a company code:

   sudo cb-psc-install/install.sh

3. Update the cfg.ini file with the v3.x+ company code:

   sudo /opt/carbonblack/psc/bin/cbagentd -d '<COMPANY_CODE>'

4. Append the following entry in the /var/opt/carbonblack/psc/cfg.inifile. You can use the IP address instead of the hostname.

   ProxyServer=<hostname>:<port number>

   Note: The Linux sensor only supports a HTTP non-authenticated proxy server through cfg.ini.

   Table 1.

   Proxy Type	IP Format	FDQN Format
   HTTP	ip:port	fdqn:port
   HTTP	http://ip:port	http://fdqn:port

   Example Cfg.ini settings:

   [customer]
   ProxyServer=proxy.example.com:3128

   ProxyServer=<hostname>:<port number>
5. Start the agent:
   • Centos/Rhel 6:
     • $ service cbagentd start
   • All other distributions:
     • $ systemctl start cbagentd
