ERA 6.5 appliance (based on CentOS7) uses apache http proxy available from official CentOS repositories. Configuration file enabling http proxy with ERA specifics is located in file /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy.conf. It should be possible to enable authentication as is described in Apache 2.4 documentation but it was not tested, nor it is documented by ESET. Could you also ask customer for his reason to require authentication? Apache proxy distributed in ERA appliance is configured so that it forwards requests only to ESET servers. This significantly reduces risk of proxy misuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This significantly reduces risk of proxy misuse. We test it and it work, We don't know why they want to use authenticating , they are a government and they want maximum security. We told them that this is a limited proxy just for ESET servers. Edited July 25, 2017 by KAMIRAN Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
