Remote Administration usage example

Before commencing any remote administration process ensure your system fulfills the three following prerequisites:
Running ERA Server
Running ERA Console
Enabled RA Client in the ESETS daemon. Ensure that firewall settings do not block traffic to ERA Server or vice versa.
To setup the basics, specify the address of your ERA Server in the 'racl_server_addr' parameter first. If you are using
a password to access the ERA Console password, you must edit the value of the 'racl_password' parameter
accordingly. Change the value of the 'racl_interval' parameter to adjust the frequency of connections to ERA Server (in
minutes).
You can either use the web interface (see also previous chapter) to apply the new configuration, or you can adjust
these parameters in the [global] section of the ESETS configuration file as follows:
racl_server_addr = "yourServerAddress"
racl_server_port = 2222
racl_password = "yourPassword"
racl_interval = 1
NOTE: All applicable ESET Remote Administration Client variables are listed on the esets_daemon(8) man page.
The ESETS daemon configuration will be reloaded and RACL will connect to ERA Server. You will be able to see a
newly connected client in your ERA Console. Press the F5 button (or Menu > View > Refresh) to manually refresh the
list of connected clients.

By using ERA Console you can create a configuration task to ESETS daemon from ERA Console:
Right click the connected Client Name
Navigate to New Task > Configuration Task > Create...
Expand Unix ESET Security tree
