F-SECURE CLIENT SECURITY 7.00, Administrator'S Manual

Page: 261 / 315

CHAPTER 12 261
Hosts running F-Secure Client Security or F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Workstations fetch virus definition updates through F-Secure Policy
Manager Proxy. F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy contacts F-Secure
Policy Manager Server and F-Secure's distribution server when needed.
Workstations in the remote offices communicate also with the Policy
Manager Server in the main office, but this communication is restricted to
remote policy management, status monitoring, and alerting. Since the
heavy database update traffic is redirected through the F-Secure Policy
Manager Proxy in the same local network, the network connection
between managed workstations and F-Secure Policy Manager Server
has a substantially lighter load.
12.4 Configuring Automatic Updates on Hosts from
Policy Manager Proxy
A list of Policy Manager Proxies through which the hosts fetch updates
can be configured on Policy Manager’s
Settings tab. This is described in
“ Configuring Policy Manager Proxy ” , 165 . However, if you need to
configure this from a managed host’s local user interface, you can do it as
follows:
1. Go to the Automatic Updates page and click Advanced...
2. Select Automatic Updates
Æ
Policy Manager Proxy .
On the Policy Manager Proxy page, you can view and edit the
addresses from which the local F-Secure Client Security gets
automatic updates.
The addresses are used from top to bottom, i.e. the first address on
the list is the one used by default.
3. Click Add to add the proxy on the list.
4. Enter the name of the first Policy Manager Proxy in the field. The click
OK .

Proxy, see F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy Administrator’s Guide.
