Managing Users & Groups
2 The APS downloads group policy settings, El Gamal keys, and group
notices over the management channel, overwriting the existing
policies, keys and notices on the Aurorean Client computer.
Policy settings are automatically updated on the Aurorean Client
computer regardless of whether or not they changed since Aurorean
Client was installed and whether or not Software or Data
Synchronization is enabled or disabled.
3 With Software Synchronization enabled, Aurorean Client requests
new Prescriber scripts and a new version of Aurorean Client from the
APS if new scripts and application executable files are available.
– If new Prescriber scripts are available, the APS begins
downloading a self-extracting file over the management channel.
This self-extracting file is run the next time the user starts the
Aurorean Client application. When the download is complete,
the process continues with the next step.
– If the Prescriber scripts are still current, the process continues
with the next step.
– If new application executable files are available, the APS begins
downloading individual files over the management channel.
When the download is complete, the process continues with the
next step. The new software is installed the next time the user
reboots if chosen when prompted by a dialog box. If declined, the
user can manually upgrade Aurorean Client later. Also, Aurorean
Client replaces any files that were deleted.
– If the application executable files are still current, the process
continues with the next step.
– If Software Synchronization is disabled, no upgrade occurs.
4 With Data Synchronization enabled, Aurorean Client compares the
dates of its most frequently used core and TollSaver POP files against
those stored on the APS.
– If the files are out-of-date, the APS begins downloading
individual core and TollSaver POP files over the management
channel. When the update is complete, the process continues
with the next step.
– If the files on the Aurorean Client computer are still current, the
process continues with the next step.
– If Data Synchronization is disabled, no upgrade occurs.
