Configure proxy settings for Bot Agent in Automation 360. Import proxy details automatically during installation or update them manually after setup.

About this task

Device proxy settings are imported during Bot Agent installation. However, if the proxy settings are not imported during installation, you can update the proxy configuration details manually.
Note: If you choose to update the proxy configuration manually, ensure that the proxy settings of the Node manager and Bot launcher are same.
Note: Your device proxy settings for authenticated proxy can be set during the Bot Agent registration process and can be updated through the Bot Agent diagnostic utility. The same credentials will be used for all users on the device.

Typically, when you change your proxy settings, whether you added a proxy or changed the credentials to the authenticating proxy, the Bot Agent prompts for new credentials.

You can use PSExec -sid command to add or update proxy credentials manually.

You can perform these steps before or after installing the Bot Agent.
