Managing Configuration Updates (4345474)

Managing Configuration Updates

To optimize network traffic, you can use the update management feature: by default, the Enterprise SSO workstations retrieve the whole SSO configuration periodically.

The update management feature allows you to post an update, which generates a unique identifier. The workstations retrieve the application data and this identifier. As long as the identifier is unchanged between the directory and the cache of the workstations, the workstations do not update their SSO configurations.

Restriction

The functionality described in this solution is only available in SSOStudio Enterprise used in LDAP storage mode and standalone mode.

Procedure from the SSOWatch Admin Guide:

• To enable the update management feature: In the File menu of SSOStudio Enterprise, select Manage updates and click Disable update management.

• To post an update, which generates a unique identifier: In the File menu of SSOStudio Enterprise, select Manage updates and click Post an update.  When a workstation runs an update, it retrieves the entire configuration (and not only the configuration corresponding to the last posted update).

So this feature does not avoid workstations retrieving the applications configured by administrators after the last posted update if the data on theworkstation is older than the last posted update.
