Configuration Changes Under the HTTP Protocol
You can make configuration changes
in the Web-based management console by selecting functions in the Workstation Administration,
Server
Administration and Update & Upgrade
tabs on the left-hand sidebar. Transmitting configuration
information from the management console to the client software is
a two-step process:
- You typically enter
configuration information within a form. Click Apply when finished. This will save the
configuration information to the configuration database
on the server. However, it does not invoke the configuration
changes to be saved to the client software on the workstations.
- After clicking the Apply
button and writing the configuration changes to the
configuration database, a notification screen appears which gives you the opportunity to notify the clients that
you have chosen to configure. Notification involves
sending a message via HTTP protocol to the OfficeScan
client software informing them that there is new
configuration information for retrieval in the
database. Clicking Start Notify will attempt to
send a notification message to the OfficeScan client
software. Clicking Stop Notify will stop the
notification process. The field next to the client will
display the outcome of the notification process. If the
clients cannot be contacted, the OfficeScan Client
software will retrieve the new configuration information
the next time the software is started.
