14.4. Update Management for LogAn Managed Devices

UserGate Management Center allows you to create a centralized policy for updating the UserGate software (UGOS) and updatable libraries provided on subscription (URL filtering category database, IDPS, IP address/URL/MIME type lists etc.).

Note

After adding a LogAn MD to UGMC management, the device starts automatically downloading all updates from the UGMC server.

To configure update management using UGMC, follow these steps:

Description

Step 1. Configure an update check schedule.

An update check schedule defines the time and frequency of checking for updates. It can be configured locally on each LogAn device or centrally using UGMC templates. The configuration is done identically in both cases. A local update check schedule is configured in the General settings section of the device's web management console. When UGMC is used, the schedule is configured in the General settings section of a UGMC template.

Step 2. Configure a software update policy for LogAn devices.

A software update policy allows you to specify an update available for installation on all or select MDs. For more details on updating software, see the section LogAn Software Updates.

Step 3. Configure a library update policy for LogAn devices.

A library update policy allows you to select the desired library updates for installing on MDs. For more details on updating libraries, see the section LogAn Libraries Updates.
