Comodo Endpoint Security Manager - SME - Administrator Guide

• Allow Local Administration - Configures the agent to allow the CIS installation at the target machine to be switched

to local administration mode should the user desire to change the security settings. The administrator may choose to

not allow the user to alter the security settings in his/her computer, so as to not lead to a security hole in the network.

On selecting the 'Allow Local Administration' check box, the administrator should specify how the access to local

administration has to be restricted by selecting an option from the following check boxes:

• Using computer administrator credentials - Selecting this option will require the computer user to either

have administrative credentials or enter credentials while switching CIS at the target machine to local

administration mode.

• Using local password - Allows the administrator to specify a password in the text box below this option.

This password should be entered for switching the CIS to local administration mode.

• Policy compliance polling interval - The administrator can set the time interval (in hours and minutes) for the agent

to periodically check whether the CIS at the target computer is compliant with the applied security policy. The result

will be dynamically displayed in the Policy Status tile and System Status - Compliancy status tile on the dashboard.

(Default = 1 hour, up to but not including 24 hours).

Tip: ESM can also be configured to alert the administrator by sending automated emails on the occurrence of a target

computer going non-compliant. See System Status Tiles for more details.

• Local Server Address - The administrator can specify the address of the server machine in the local network, on

which the ESM central service is installed.

• Internet Server Address - The administrator can specify the address of the external server on which the ESM central

service is installed if the endpoint should connect to the ESM server through Internet.

Tip: Local Server Address and Internet Server Address values are used by the Agent to determine when Local Policy or

Internet Policy should be applied. What's more, these addresses have a priority over addresses that are in the Server Network

Addresses list specified in the Configuration Tool such that:

1. The Local Server Address value, mandatory in policy settings, specifies that if this connection is established Local

Policy should be applied.

2. Internet Server Address value is optional in policy settings. If specified it is tried to be reached ONLY if the specified

local address connection fails. Internet Policy should be applied.
