Creating Repositories
Creating and configuring FTP, HTTP, and UNC repositories
If credentials are incorrect, check the:
• User name and password.
• URL or path on the previous panel of the wizard.
• The HTTP, FTP or UNC site on the system.
6
Enter Replication credentials. The server uses these credentials when it replicates DAT
files, engine files, or other product updates from the master repository to the distributed
repository. These credentials must have both read and write permissions for the distributed
repository:
• If you selected FTP, type the user account information in User name, Password, and
Confirm password.
• If you selected HTTP and the HTTP server requires authentication, type the user account
information in Domain, User name, and Password fields.
• If you selected UNC, type the user account information for the network directory in
Domain, User name, Password, and Confirm password.
7
Click Test Credentials. After a few seconds, a confirmation message appears that the
site is accessible to systems using the authentication information.
8
Click Next. The Package Types page appears.
9
Select whether to replicate all packages or selected packages to this distributed repository,
then click Next.
NOTE:
Ensure all packages required by managed systems using this repository are not
deselected. Managed systems go to one repository for all packages — if a needed package
type is not present in the repository, the task fails. This feature ensures packages that are
only used by a few systems are not replicated throughout your entire environment.
10 Click Save to add the repository. ePolicy Orchestrator adds the new distributed repository
to its database.
Enabling folder sharing for UNC and HTTP repositories
Use this task to share a folder on an HTTP or UNC distributed repository. For these repositories,
ePolicy Orchestrator requires that the folder is enabled for sharing across the network so that
your ePolicy Orchestrator server can copy files to it. This is for replication purposes only. Managed
systems configured to use the distributed repository use the appropriate protocol (HTTP, FTP,
or Windows file sharing) and do not require folder sharing.
Task
1
On the system, locate the folder you created using Windows Explorer.
2
Right-click the folder, then select Sharing.
3
On the Sharing tab, select Share this folder.
4
Configure share permissions as needed. Systems updating from the repository require only
read access, but administrator accounts, including the account used by the ePolicy
Orchestrator server service, require write access. See your Microsoft Windows documentation
to configure appropriate security settings for shared folders.
5
Click OK.
