Agent communication with the ePO server now uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol for improved security.
Move agents between servers
You can now move agents from one ePO server to another with the Transfer Systems feature.
Navigation redesign
The navigation for the ePO console has been redesigned for the 4.5 release. Now you can access any of the first-
level ePolicy Orchestrator tabs from the new ePO Menu. You can also add the pages you use most frequently to the
favorites bar: simply drag any entry in the Menu and drop it onto the favorites bar to the right of the Menu.
Drag-and-drop
You can use drag-and-drop functionality to move certain objects in the interface. You can:
Add Menu items to the favorites bar.
In tables, add commonly used actions from the Actions menu to the Action bar.
Using the Systems table, move selected systems or groups of systems to a different group in the System
Tree.
In the System Tree, move groups and subgroups into other groups.
Policy Assignment Rules
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 allows you to assign policies to unique groups or to individual users through the use of
Policy Assignment Rules. This feature enables policy assignment based on the Active Directory groups that users
belong to, instead of the system they are using. You can include individual users, groups, and Organizational Units
(OUs) in a rule. You can also exclude specific users from a rule. McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise 3.0 is the first
managed product to leverage this feature.
Automatic Responses
The new Automatic Responses feature replaces the Notifications feature. This new feature allows you to create rules
for responding to events that are specific to your business environment. Available actions include:
Sending email notifications.
Sending SNMP traps.
Creating issues for use with integrated third-party ticketing systems.
Running a registered executable or server task.
IPv6 support
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 is fully compatible with IPv6 in both native and mixed environments, including:
Native IPv4
Native IPv6
Mixed IPv4 and IPv6
LDAP support
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) through the use of Active Directory
servers. This version of ePolicy Orchestrator allows closer integration with Active Directory servers so that you can:
Assign permission sets to users based on their Active Directory group.
Browse your Active Directory server for users or groups when creating Policy Assignment Rules.
Automatically assign administrator rights to users when they log on with their Active Directory domain
credentials.
