   • To create a user proxy definition by typing all information, select Enter all User Proxy details.
   • To create a definition by copying an existing user proxy, select Start from an existing User Proxy entry on another server. Select the server where the definition is located in the Server field and the user proxy to copy in the User Proxy field.
   • To create a user proxy definition from an existing template, select Start from a User Proxy template and select the template to copy in the Template entry field.
