  6. If you will install CylanceOPTICS, add registry entries on the Windows device

If you will install
CylanceOPTICS
, add registry entries on the
Windows
 device

On
Windows
 devices, you must add two registry entries:
  • The first entry configures
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
     and
    CylanceOPTICS
     to use the
    CylanceHYBRID
     proxy server, running on port 8888. The
    CylanceHYBRID
     application uses a proxy server to help with communication between
    CylanceOPTICS
     devices and the
    CylanceHYBRID
     console.
  • The second entry disables the
    CylanceOPTICS
     cloud fallback feature. By default,
    CylanceOPTICS
     attempts to communicate directly with the Cylance cloud when a proxy connection is not available.
You may need to run the command prompt as an administrator.
  1. On the device, open a command prompt.
  2. To configure
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
     and
    CylanceOPTICS
     to use the
    CylanceHYBRID
     proxy server, running on port
    8888
    , type the following command:
    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Desktop /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d http://
    <CylanceHYBRID FQDN>
    :8888 /f
    Use
    http://
     and port
    8888
     in the command.
  3. Press
    Enter
    . This adds your
    CylanceHYBRID
     application information that is used when
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
     and
    CylanceOPTICS
     are installed.
  4. To disable the
    CylanceOPTICS
     cloud fallback feature, type the following command:
    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Optics /v DisableProxyBypass /t REG_SZ /d True /f
    If this key is present, the
    CylanceOPTICS
     agent will always attempt to establish a connection through the configured proxy server.
  5. Close the command prompt.
