To update the password protected settings
To update password protected settings on the client machines an additional file is needed in the shared update location: password.xml. The file contains the password(s) needed, encrypted, and is generated using a password tool that comes with the LAN Update package. During updates, F-PROT Antivirus will read the password in the file “password.xml” and supply it when, and if, prompted (internally).
Image 1: Password protected settings. Here, it
shows how the file c:\update_loc\password.xml is created for clients that have settings
protected with the password “old_password”.
Image 2: Change a password. Here, it shows the
password is being changed from “old_password” to “new_password”. When the new password has been
applied to the client computers, password.xml has to be re-generated with “new_password” as the current password.
