ESMC 7 introduces a new generation of the agent/server communication protocol. The new replication protocol uses TLS and HTTP2 protocols so it can go through proxy servers. There are also new self-recovery features and a persistent connection that improves overall communication performance.
ESET provides a pre-configured Apache installer. The user can also use other proxy solutions (besides Apache HTTP Proxy) that fulfill the following conditions:
The configuration of other proxy solutions is not provided or supported by ESET. Other solutions may not support caching of ESET Dynamic Threat Defense (EDTD) communications.
The ESMC 7 Virtual Appliance contains a correctly pre-configured Apache HTTP Proxy. We recommend you use the new appliance instead of upgrading the old one.
To keep your proxy safe and well configured, replace your old ERA Proxy - Virtual Appliance with the new version. ESMC 7 does not provide a standalone proxy configuration as ERA 6.x did. We recommend you deploy a new ESMC Server - Virtual Appliance. The new server is not used as an administrative server, but a proxy. The correctly configured Apache HTTP Proxy is included in the ESMC 7 Virtual Appliance download.
