Setting up the Client Installation Share

The Client Installation Share contains the firewall client installation files. The firewall client software can be
installed on network client systems by connecting the clients to the Client Installation Share located on the
ProLiant DL320 Security Server or another internal network computer.

In the current ProLiant DL320 Security Server release, the Client Installation Share is installed on the
server. However, network clients cannot access the installation files because the Server service is
disabled. The Server service must be manually enabled before network client computers can connect to
the share. However, enabling the Server service on the firewall is not recommended.

Another option is to use the Companion CD to install the Client Installation Share on a secure file server
on the LAN. You can install the Client Installation Share on a computer other than the ProLiant DL320
Security Server by inserting the Companion CD into the server CD-ROM drive and selecting the Install
Client Installation Share
option from the autorun menu.

Supporting web proxy and firewall client automatic

discovery

The firewall and web proxy client computers can be configured to automatically obtain configuration
information from the ProLiant DL320 Security Server. Automatic discovery enables the web proxy and
firewall client computers on the LAN to automatically discover the location of the server and obtain
configuration information. The entire process is transparent to users, and it allows mobile users to move to
and from the LAN and automatically obtain connection and configuration information required to connect
to the Internet through the ProLiant DL320 Security Server.

DNS WPAD entry

A WPAD alias entry is placed on the DNS server on your LAN. The entry maps the name WPAD to the
DNS host (A) record for the internal interface of the ProLiant DL320 Security Server. Requirements for the
DNS WPAD alias entry include:

A DNS server on the LAN

A host (A) entry for the internal interface of the ProLiant DL320 Security Server

An alias (CNAME) record for the name WPAD that maps to the host (A) record for the entry in DNS
of the ProLiant DL320 Security Server

Computers on the LAN that can correctly qualify the unqualified name WPAD (the best way to meet
this requirement is to join the LAN computers to the same domain as the WPAD entry)

To create the DNS WPAD entry if Windows

1.

On the DNS server, from the Administrative Tools menu, open the DNS console.

2.
