Total ICEcap Control

ICEcap Manager has complete control over these agents. If the

 

local host has the Local Console installed, the end user can

 

modify the display and alarm preferences but not the blackice.ini

 

or firewall.ini files. Configuration settings are disabled.

 

 

Shared ICEcap Control

The local system has partial control over configuration settings,

 

and can alter any parameters that ICEcap Manager has not

 

explicitly set. For example, the user can trust an address that

 

ICEcap Manager does not trust. However, the user cannot

 

unblock an ICEcap-blocked address or change the protection

 

level ICEcap Manager enforces.

 

 

Shared Local Control

The local system has control over all configuration settings.

 

Although ICEcap Manager distributes configuration settings to

 

all agents in the group, the end user can override any of those

 

configuration settings.
