# Step 4. Configure Agent Proxy Settings

The OpsMgr agent running on machines that host Veeam Backup & Replication components must be granted the privilege to insert new objects into OpsMgr as the Veeam Backup & Replication topology is discovered. This is known as proxying. Note that proxying must also be applied if any of the Veeam Backup & Replication components is running on the OpsMgr Management server.

To grant this privilege, do the following:

## Configuring Proxy Settings for an Agent

To enable proxying for an OpsMgr agent:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using an account with the local Administrator rights. 
2. Go to the **Administration** section.
3. Select the **Device Management** > **Agent Managed** node. 
4. In the right pane, for each agent server where a Veeam Backup & Replication component runs, double-click to open **Agent Properties** dialog. 
5. Go to the **Security** tab and make sure the **Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers** check box is selected.

6. Click **OK**. Wait for several minutes for the setting change to propagate through the system.

## Configuring Proxy Settings for a Management Server

Proxying must also be enabled for Management Servers if any Veeam Backup & Replication component is installed there. To enable proxying for a Management Server:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using an account with administrative rights. 
2. Go to the **Administration** section.
3. Select the **Device Management** > **Management Servers** node. 
4. In the right pane, double-click on the Management Server to open the **Management Server Properties** dialog. 
5. Go to the **Security** tab and make sure the **Allow this server to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers** check box is selected:
