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:
• For FTP, enter the user account information.
• For HTTP or UNC, enter domain and user account information.
• Click Test Credentials. After a few seconds, a confirmation message appears that the site is
accessible to systems using the authentication information. If credentials are incorrect, check
the following:
•
User name and password
•
URL or path on the previous panel of the wizard
•
HTTP, FTP, or UNC site on the system

Click Next. The Package Types page appears.

click Next.
• If you choose the Selected packages option, you must manually select the Signatures and engines and
Products, patches, service packs, etc. you want to replicate.
• Optionally select to Replicate legacy DATs.
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 used by only a few
systems are not replicated throughout your entire environment.
Review the Summary page, then click Save to add the repository. The ePolicy Orchestrator software

adds the new distributed repository to its database.
Avoiding replication of selected packages
If distributed repositories are set up to replicate only selected packages, your newly checked-in
package is replicated by default. Depending on your requirements for testing and validating, you
might want to avoid replicating some packages to your distributed repositories.
Use this task to avoid replicating a newly checked-in package.
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
