Managing Users & Groups

2The APS downloads group policy settings, El Gamal keys, and group notices over the management channel, overwriting the existing policies, keys and notices on the Aurorean Client computer.

Policy settings are automatically updated on the Aurorean Client computer regardless of whether or not they changed since Aurorean Client was installed and whether or not Software or Data Synchronization is enabled or disabled.

3With Software Synchronization enabled, Aurorean Client requests new Prescriber scripts and a new version of Aurorean Client from the APS if new scripts and application executable files are available.

–If new Prescriber scripts are available, the APS begins downloading a self-extracting file over the management channel. This self-extracting file is run the next time the user starts the Aurorean Client application. When the download is complete, the process continues with the next step.

–If the Prescriber scripts are still current, the process continues with the next step.

–If new application executable files are available, the APS begins downloading individual files over the management channel. When the download is complete, the process continues with the next step. The new software is installed the next time the user reboots if chosen when prompted by a dialog box. If declined, the user can manually upgrade Aurorean Client later. Also, Aurorean Client replaces any files that were deleted.

–If the application executable files are still current, the process continues with the next step.

–If Software Synchronization is disabled, no upgrade occurs.

4With Data Synchronization enabled, Aurorean Client compares the datesof itsmost frequentlyused coreand TollSaverPOP filesagainst those stored on the APS.

–If the files are out-of-date, the APS begins downloading individual core and TollSaver POP files over the management channel. When the update is complete, the process continues with the next step.

–If the files on the Aurorean Client computer are still current, the process continues with the next step.

–If Data Synchronization is disabled, no upgrade occurs.
