If this policy is enabled, Microsoft Edge ignores all proxy-related options specified from the command line.

If this policy is not configured, users can choose their own proxy settings.

This policy overrides the following individual policies:
- ProxyMode
- ProxyPacUrl
- ProxyServer
- ProxyBypassList

Setting the ProxySettings policy accepts the following fields:
- ProxyMode, which allows for the proxy server used by Microsoft Edge to be specified and prevents users from changing proxy settings
- ProxyPacUrl, a URL to a proxy .pac file
- ProxyServer, a URL for the proxy server
- ProxyBypassList, a list of proxy hosts that Microsoft Edge bypasses

For ProxyMode, the following values have the noted impact:
- direct, a proxy is never used and all other fields are ignored.
- system, the system's proxy is used and all other fields are ignored.
- auto_detect, all other fields are ignored.
- fixed_server, the ProxyServer and ProxyBypassList fields are used.
- pac_script, the ProxyPacUrl and ProxyBypassList fields are used.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Edge</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Microsoft Edge</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5280</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-001414</ident><fixtext fixref="F-38901r626354_fix">Set the policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Proxy server/ProxySettings" must be set to "ProxyMode", "ProxyPacUrl", "ProxyServer", or "ProxyBypassList".</fixtext><fix id="F-38901r626354_fix" /><check system="C-38938r626353_chk"><check-content-ref href="Microsoft_Edge_STIG.xml" name="M" /><check-content>The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Proxy server/ProxySettings" must be set to one of the following options: "ProxyMode", "ProxyPacUrl", "ProxyServer", or "ProxyBypassList".

Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered security vulnerabilities. Organizations (including any contractor to the organization) are required to promptly install security-relevant software updates (e.g., patches, service packs, and hot fixes). Flaws discovered during security assessments, continuous monitoring, incident response activities, or information system error handling must also be addressed expeditiously.

Organization-defined time periods for updating security-relevant software may vary based on a variety of factors including, for example, the security category of the information system or the criticality of the update (i.e., severity of the vulnerability related to the discovered flaw).

This requirement will apply to software patch management solutions that are used to install patches across the enclave and also to applications themselves that are not part of that patch management solution. For example, many browsers today provide the capability to install their own patch software. Patch criticality, as well as system criticality will vary. Therefore, the tactical situations regarding the patch management process will also vary. This means that the time period used must be a configurable parameter. Time frames for application of security-relevant software updates may be dependent upon the Information Assurance Vulnerability Management (IAVM) process.

The application will be configured to check for and install security-relevant software updates within an identified time period from the availability of the update. The specific time period will be defined by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Edge</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Microsoft Edge</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5280</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-002605</ident><fixtext fixref="F-38940r626471_fix">Install a supported version of Edge.</fixtext><fix id="F-38940r626471_fix" /><check system="C-38977r626470_chk"><check-content-ref href="Microsoft_Edge_STIG.xml" name="M" /><check-content>Cross-reference the build information displayed with the Microsoft Edge site to identify, at minimum, the oldest supported build available.

This does not affect which DNS servers are used; it only controls the software stack that is used to communicate with them. For example, if the operating system is configured to use an enterprise DNS server, that same server would be used by the built-in DNS client. However, it is however possible that the built-in DNS client will address servers in different ways by using more modern DNS-related protocols such as DNS-over-TLS.

If this policy is enabled, the built-in DNS client is used if it is available.

If this policy is disabled, the client is never used.&lt;/VulnDiscussion&gt;&lt;FalsePositives&gt;&lt;/FalsePositives&gt;&lt;FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;/FalseNegatives&gt;&lt;Documentable&gt;false&lt;/Documentable&gt;&lt;Mitigations&gt;&lt;/Mitigations&gt;&lt;SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;/SeverityOverrideGuidance&gt;&lt;PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;/PotentialImpacts&gt;&lt;ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;/ThirdPartyTools&gt;&lt;MitigationControl&gt;&lt;/MitigationControl&gt;&lt;Responsibility&gt;&lt;/Responsibility&gt;&lt;IAControls&gt;&lt;/IAControls&gt;</description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Edge</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Microsoft Edge</dc:subject><dc:identifier>5280</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://cyber.mil/cci">CCI-001942</ident><fixtext fixref="F-38956r626519_fix">Set the policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Use built-in DNS client" to "disabled".</fixtext><fix id="F-38956r626519_fix" /><check system="C-38993r626518_chk"><check-content-ref href="Microsoft_Edge_STIG.xml" name="M" /><check-content>The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Use built-in DNS client" must be set to "disabled".
