Creating the SODA Sygate On-Demand Manager (SODA Manager) is a Windows application Agent with SODA used for configuring security policies based on locations, and for creating Manager agents that enforce those security policies. For information on how to use

SODA Manager to create security policies, see the documentation that came with the product.

You can use SODA Manager to create a SODA agent, configuring the level of security desired according to the requirements of your network. When a SODA agent is created (by pressing the Apply button in SODA Manager), a subdirectory called On-DemandAgentis created in the C:\Program Files\Sygate\Sygate On-Demanddirectory.

You place the contents of the On-DemandAgentdirectory into a .zip file (for example, soda.ZIP) and copy the file to the WX switch using TFTP, as described in “Copying the SODA Agent to the WX Switch” on page 549.
