This topic describes how to set up static and dynamic proxy support for the Mac Agent.
Static Proxy Support

From Select a protocol to configure, check the protocol you want to set the proxy: Web Proxy (HTTP) or Secured Web Proxy (HTTPS) or both and Install MAC with new parameters.

Dynamic Proxy Support
Dynamic Proxy for Mac Agents is supported (from release 2.0.0.142). This allows agent-server communication to go through different proxies dynamically based on PAC file rules.
Dynamic Proxy requires that Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) resides on an accessible Web server.
Authentication of Proxy (with User and Password) is not supported when using Dynamic Proxy.

In the list of protocol to configure, check Automatic Proxy Configuration to enable it.

In the URL field, enter the address of the PAC file.

Click OK and Apply
