Resolution

VigilEnt Security Agent for Unix 5.0

fact
Unix Manager 5.0

symptom
Cannot update IDMEF_DESTINATIONS when the Unix Manager console is version 5.0 and the agent is version 4.0.

symptom
Updating IDMEF_DESTINATIONS from a Unix Manager 5.0 console to a 4.0 agent fails.

symptom
Error: 'Command was not processed correctly.'

cause

Due to the significant improvements to Unix Manager 5.0, the 5.0 console is not backward compatible with the 4.0 agent. The re-engineering of Unix Manager 5.0 vastly improved functionality to allow:

  • Change of IDMEF Destinations
  • Change of VSM Alert Destinations
  • Change of Vulnerability Manager Core Services IPaddress:port
  • Change of SNMP Management Console IPaddress:port
  • Change of uvserv port
  • Ability to start and stop detect
  • Ability to clear the agent cache files
  • Ability to clear log manager spool files
  • Ability to turn on and off agent debugging


fix
Upgrade the agent to version 5.0.
