Managing Network Preferences
Use Network preferences to select and configure proxy servers that can be used by
users and groups. You can bypass proxy settings for specific hosts and domains. This
has the advantage of providing a customized browsing experience for managed users
and groups.
You can also disable Internet Sharing, AirPort, or Bluetooth. Disabling these can
improve security by removing avenues for attack.
The table below describes what settings in each Network pane can do.
Configuring Proxy Servers by Port
You can configure specific types of proxies for a user or group to access and specify the
port. The types of proxy servers that are individually modifiable are FTP, Web (HTTP),
Secure Web (HTTPS), Streaming (RTSP), SOCKS, Gopher, and Automatic Proxy
Configuration.
