Update

When a work environment has a large number of systems installed, the challenge that the administrators usually face is how to update all the endpoints for security patches.
This feature allows you to create policies for taking the updates automatically for the endpoints. You can create policies that help different clients take the updates from different sources. Taking the updates from different sources reduce the load on a single server.

To configure policy for Update Settings, follow these steps:

1. Create Container/feature policy for Update.
2. Enable and expand Automatic Update.
3. To display notification window when the updates are taken, select the Show update notification window check box.
4. Under Frequency, set the schedule when you want to take the updates.
   • Automatic
   • Custom
     If you select Custom, Daily Start at and Repeat after, lists are activated, you can set the schedule as per your requirement.
5. Under Update Mode, when EPS is installed on private IP (Private IP natted to Public IP), the following update settings can be configured:
   • Download from Internet
   • Download from Specified Update Agents
     If you select Download from Specified Update Agents, Update agent list is activated. Select the Update Agent from the list. The Antivirus Setup will be downloaded from the first Update Agent. If any Update Agent fails, the updates will be downloaded as per the sequence in this list. You can reorder this list to change the sequence.
     If all the Update Agents fail, then the Antivirus Setup will be downloaded from the Seqrite Internet center.

     – Click the Default button to view the list of endpoints to which the Update Agent is assigned. The updates will be downloaded from the UAs.
     – Click the Delete button to delete the selected UA.
     – Click the Add button to add a new update agent. Enter the Hostname and the Custom URL.
     a. Hostname can be any name of the computer where the update folder is placed.
     b. The URL field can be entered as: http://ipaddress:8080/

   Implement Update Folder on Apache/Wildfly

   1.Install Apache (or Wildfly) web server on any Linux system from the network.
   2.Place the Update folder copied from the standalone update manager on the Apache server
   at: /var/www/html/. Ensure that the required permissions (755) are assigned to the files, if applicable.
   For example, the update path looks like:
   /var/www/html/update/1800
   command: chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/update
   3.Go to the EPS8.2 console to configure alternate update mechanism.

• Click Add.
6. To save your settings, click Save Policy.
   Importantly, if you have customized the settings and later you want to revert to the default settings, you can do so by clicking the Reset Default button.
