Chapter 8
Defining Agent Policies
Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes the policies that define properties of Enterprise Scanner agents.
Immediately after you install an agent, you must configure certain policies in the
Proventia Setup Assistant and in the Proventia Manager that enable your agent to register
with SiteProtector. After completing the initial configuration, you can edit most agent
policies in the SiteProtector Console.
Prerequisite
You must know how to manage policies in the SiteProtector Console, including how to
locate, edit, and save policies. Chapter 5, "Introduction to Enterprise Scanner Policies" on
page 71 provides an introduction to Enterprise Scanner policies. That chapter includes
background information about locating Enterprise Scanner policies (p. 74) and about how
inheritance works with Enterprise Scanner policies (p. 77). For more detailed information
about policy management, see the Help in the SiteProtector Console.
