Chapter 6

Controlling Client Synchronization

Managing Users & Groups

6If you have not previously built core files for this group, a Directory Not Found window appears asking you to create a new directory for the core files; click Yes to create the directory.

If you installed RiverMaster in the default location on your computer, the new core files are stored in C:\Program Files\Indus River

Networks\RiverMaster\DataFiles\RiverPilot\

GroupName where GroupName is a subdirectory that matches the group name.

The new core files are also maintained on the APS. If client synchronization is enabled for the group, members of the group automatically receive the updated files during synchronization.

To manually distribute the new core files to users who cannot connect, copy the contents of the directory created in Step 6 onto a floppy disk or other distributable media. Aurorean users must copy these .IRX files into the Data directory on their computers (by default, C:\Program Files\Indus River Networks\RiverPilot\Data).

NOTE

After Aurorean users copy the new core files onto their computers, they must re-enter their VPN and ISP user names and passwords. Any From locations they added are preserved and do not need to be reentered.

Uploading Software Synchronization Files

New Prescriber remedies and updated Aurorean Client application files are distributed as part of Enterasys Network’s Aurorean Software Update Service. In order for Aurorean clients to receive this information, a set of files containing the scripts and application executables as well as a table of contents file (rx-toc.txt) must be uploaded to the APS. Once the files are uploaded, Aurorean clients automatically receive the new Prescriber remedies and revised Aurorean Client program files through the software synchronization process.
