4.5.1.2.3 Connecting to the LAN
When updating from a local server with an NT-based operating system, authentication for each network connection is
required by default. In most cases, a local system account does not have sufficient rights to access the Mirror folder (the
Mirror folder contains copies of update files). If this is the case, enter the username and password in the update setup
section or specify an existing account under which the program will access the update server (Mirror).
To configure such an account, click the LAN tab. The Connect to LAN as section offers the System account (default),
Current user, and Specified user options.
Select the System account (default) option to use the system account for authentication. Normally, no authentication
process takes place if there is no authentication data supplied in the main update setup section.
To ensure that the program authenticates using a currently logged-in user account, select Current user. The drawback
of this solution is that the program is not able to connect to the update server if no user is currently logged in.
Select Specified user if you want the program to use a specific user account for authentication. Use this method when
the default system account connection fails. Please be aware that the specified user account must have access to the
update files directory on the local server. Otherwise the program will not be able to establish a connection and
download updates.
Warning: When either Current user or Specified user is selected, an error may occur when changing the identity of the
program to the desired user. We recommend entering the LAN authentication data in the main update setup section.
In this update setup section, the authentication data should be entered as follows: domain_name\user (if it is a
workgroup, enter workgroup_name\name) and password. When updating from the HTTP version of the local server, no
authentication is required.
Select the Disconnect from server after update option if connection to the server remains active even after updates
have been downloaded.
4.5.1.2.4 Creating update copies - Mirror
ESET Endpoint Security allows you to create copies of update files which can be used to update other workstations
located in the network. Creation of the "mirror" – a copy of the update files in the LAN environment is convenient, since
the update files need not be downloaded from the vendor update server repeatedly and by each workstation. They are
downloaded centrally to the local mirror server and then distributed to all workstations, therefore avoiding the
potential risk of network traffic overload. Updating client workstations from a Mirror optimizes network load balance
and saves Internet connection bandwidth.
Configuration options for the local Mirror server are accessible (after adding a valid license key in the license manager,
located in the ESET Endpoint Security Advanced setup section) in the advanced update setup section. To access this
section, press F5 and click Update in the Advanced setup tree, then click the Setup... button next to Advanced update
setup and select the Mirror tab).
