New Features
Support for the HTTP Proxy
Many organizations and individuals use HTTP proxy to detect and block suspicious traffic that can be an intrusion, virus, or malware. It also protects corporate web servers from external cyberattacks.
Previously, the Agent couldn't connect to its server if you were using any HTTP proxy.
From this version, we are adding support for the HTTP proxy. You can configure the proxy in two ways:
Via the Agent Installation Parameters
You can configure the proxy using the Agent Installation Parameters. To do so, you will need to rename the default Agent package file to include the proxy parameters. For example:
tmagent-stealth-1.234.4626-i(onsite)-r(192.168.1.201)-hsrv(192.168.1.202)-hprt(1080)-husr(john)-hpwd(mYP@ssword).pkg
Via the Agent Configuration Parameters
You can configure the proxy settings from the agent.conf file (usually located in your Agent installation folder, e.g., Macintosh HD > usr > local > teramind > agent > etc). For example:
http-server=192.168.1.1
http-port=80
http-user=john
http-password=mYP@ssword
Here's an explanation of each parameter with their equivalent config file parameter:
Installation Parameter | Config File Parameter | Description |
hsrv | http-server | HTTP server address |
hprt | http-port | Port (optional) |
husr | http-user | Username (optional) |
hpwd | http-password | Password (optional) |
For more information about these and other parameters, please see the Agent Installation/Configuration Parameters (Mac) section on the Agent installation article.
Ability to Configure the SOCKS Proxy via Agent Installation Parameters
In Mac Agent 23.37.4752, we introduced support for the SOCKS proxy. But you could configure them through the Agent Configuration file (agent.conf) only.
Now, you will be able to configure the SOCKS proxy using the Agent Installation Parameters too. To do so, you will need to rename the default Agent package file to include the proxy parameters. For example:
tmagent-stealth-1.234.4626-i(onsite)-r(192.168.1.201)-ssrv(192.168.1.202)-sprt(1080)-susr(john)-spsw(mYP@ssword)-sv5(1).pkg
Here's an explanation of each parameter with their equivalent config file parameter:
Installation Parameter | Config File Parameter | Description |
ssrv | socks-server | SOCKS server address |
sprt | socks-port | Port |
susr | socks-user | Username (optional) |
spsw | socks-password | Password (optional) |
sv5 | socks-version5 | 1 = use SOCKS 5 |
For more information about these and other parameters, please see the Agent Installation/Configuration Parameters (Mac) section on the Agent installation article.
Improvements
Resolving DNS Names Asynchronously
We have made improvements to the DNS/URL processing, making it asynchronous. This will improve network performance, especially on any systems where the Agent’s DNS resolving would fail frequently due to network lags.
Bug Fixes
Network Connection wouldn't Work After the Revealed Agent Crashed
Due to a bug, the Mac would lose network connectivity after an Agent crash. The connectivity would return if the Agent was restarted. This would happen if you had the network driver (NetApp extension) enabled.
The bug is fixed now.
