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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
