   Authenticated proxy access:

   If your device's access to the internet is controlled through an authenticating proxy server, you are prompted to provide the proxy server authentication details. These credentials are required for the device to communicate with the Enterprise Control Room.

   To enable the authenticated proxy, register the device through a Chrome browser with the Automation Anywhere Chrome extension enabled.

6. Refresh the My Devices page and verify that the local device is added.

   Devices are identified by IP and hostname. Watch the following video on how to install the Bot agent in Enterprise A2019:
