If you want to change the tree:

1. Right-click the NetWare icon in your quick tray, click Set Tree.
2. Select a tree.
3. Click Set Primary.

Performing Actions on Multiple Users

VigilEnt Security Agent for NetWare 1.2 does not support performing actions (or ActiveAudit features) on more than one user at a time. For example, if you want to change the password for several users, you cannot select multiple users and then select Change Password in VSM. You must perform the change password sequence individually for each user. If you do not have the VSA for NetWare installation CD-ROM, you can also find RegNW.bat in the VSAN directory on the VigilEnt Security Agent for NetWare host machine.

New Format for PASSWORD.POL File

The password.pol file has different settings than the version of password.pol that is documented in the User Guide. See the comments in the password.pol file for information about the new settings.

The new settings that are allowed in password.pol include the following:

• none?no password cracking .
  will be performed.
• fast?check for null passwords and password = username (default setting).
• full?check for null passwords, password = username, and dictionary (or weak) passwords.

New CACHE.POL File

The cache.pol file configures the settings for the new cache feature. If a new request is made for a report within the time that the report is cached (default is 1 hour), the agent returns the cached report rather than generating a new report.

To set a different cache value:

1. Open the cache.pol file in a text editor and change the value. The syntax for cache.pol is N units, where N is a value and units can be minute, hour, or day. For example, 3 hour sets the cache to time-out in 3 hours.
