Network Environments - Novell ZENWORKS ENDPOINT SECURITY MANAGEMENT 3.5 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Update Interval
This setting determines the frequency the Endpoint Security Client will check for a policy update
when it enters this location. The frequency time is set in minutes, hours, or days. Unchecking this
parameter means the Endpoint Security Client will NOT check for an update at this location.
User Permissions
User permissions within a location include:
Change Location - this permits the end-user to change to and out of this location. For non-
managed locations (i.e., hot-spots, airports, hotels, etc.), this permission should be granted. In
controlled environments, where the network parameters are known, this permission can be
disabled. The user will NOT be able to switch to, or out of any locations when this permission
is disabled, rather the Endpoint Security Client will rely on the network environment
parameters entered for this location
Change Firewall Settings - this allows the user to change their firewall settings
Save Network Environment - this allows the user to save the network environment to this
location, to permit automatic switching to the location when the user returns. Recommended
for any locations the user will need to switch to. Multiple network environments may be saved
for a single location. For example, if a Location defined as Airport is part of the current policy,
each airport visited by the user can be saved as a network environment for this location. This
way, a mobile user can return to a saved airport environment, and the Endpoint Security Client
will automatically switch to the Airport location, and apply the defined security settings. A user
may, of course, change to a location and not save the environment.
Show Location in Client Menu - this setting allows the location to display in the client menu.
If this is unchecked, the location will not display at any time.
Use Location Message
This setting allows an optional Custom User Message to display when the Endpoint Security Client
switches to this location. This message can provide instructions for the end-user, details about policy
restrictions under this location, or include a Hyperlink to more information.

6.3.6 Network Environments

If the network parameters (Gateway server(s), DNS server(s), DHCP server(s), WINS server(s),
available access points, and/or specific adapter connections) are known for a location, the service
details (IP and/or MAC), which identify the network, can be entered into the policy to provide
immediate location switching without requiring the user having to save the environment as a
location.
To access this control, open the Locations tab and click the Network Environments folder in the
policy tree on the left.
