Configuring Policy Manager Proxy

F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy is a new product, and not to be
confused with F-Secure Anti-Virus Proxy. For more information
about F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy, see F-Secure Policy
Manager Proxy Administrator's Guide.
If the different offices of a company have their own Policy Manager
Proxies, it is often a good idea to configure the laptops that the user takes
from one office to another to use a Policy Manager Proxy as the updates
source. In this configuration example it is assumed that the laptops have
been imported to one subdomain on the Policy Domains tab, and that the
different offices of the company have their own Policy Manager Proxies,
and all of them will be included on the list of Policy Manager Proxy
Servers.
1. Select the subdomain where you want to use the Policy Manager
Proxy in the Policy Domains tab.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select the Automatic Updates page.
3. Make sure that Enable automatic updates is selected.
4. In Policy Manager Proxies there is a list of the proxy servers
available. Click Add to add new servers on the list. This opens the
F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy Server Properties window.
5. Enter a priority number in the Priority text box for the Policy Manager
Proxy. The priority numbers are used to define the order in which the
hosts try to connect the Policy Manager Proxies. Use, for example, 10
for the Policy Manager Proxy in the office where the host is normally
located, and 20, 30 and so on for the other Proxies.
6. Enter the URL of the F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy in the Server
address text box. Then click OK.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add the other servers on the list.
8. When you have added all Policy Manager Proxies on the list, check
that they are in correct order. If necessary, you can modify their order
by altering the priority numbers.
9. If you want to restrict users from changing these settings, click the
lock symbols beside the settings.
