Show Log out button
If this setting is enabled and then users download, install, and log on to the Enforcement Agent, the Log out button will be shown on the Enforcement Agent.
If this setting is disabled and then users download, install, and log on to the Enforcement Agent, the Log out button will not be shown on the Enforcement Agent.
This setting is enabled by default.

If you have already installed the Enforcement Agent, changing this setting on the TMWS management console will not take effect.
If the user has downloaded and installed the Enforcement Agent but has not logged on to it, the Log on button is still shown.
Forbidden browser(s)
There are no forbidden browsers by default.
If users have installed several browsers on their computers and you do not want to forward traffic from certain browsers to TMWS, specify the original file name of the main executable for the forbidden browser. The file extension, such as .exe, is optional. Separate multiple entries with commas.
The name of a forbidden browser should be the original file name of the main executable file of the browser. To identify the original file name of the browser:
-
On a Windows computer, open the installation folder of the browser, locate and right-click the main executable file, and click Properties. For example, Firefox's file name is firefox and Opera's is launcher.
-
On a macOS computer, go to and then find the process name of the browser. For example, Chrome's process name is Google Chrome.
Uninstall agent password
TMWS requires a password to prevent unauthorized uninstallation of the agent. The password displays as plain text for your reference.
Hosted PAC file
Select a PAC file from the drop-down list.
TMWS provides a default PAC file for use on Windows and macOS. The PAC files already created on the PAC Files screen are also listed. For more information on adding a PAC file, see PAC Files.

Note:The default value is 8080.
The proxy port is only available on Windows endpoints.
