NOTE: The security around protecting a machine is based on the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) in Linux.
After a user is authenticated using libpam, the user is only authorized to protect the machine if the user is in one of
the following groups:
•
sudo
•
admin
•
appassure
•
wheel
For information on protecting a machine, see the section 'Protecting a Machine' in the
dell.com/support/manuals.
The installation instructions differ depending upon the Linux distribution you are using. For more information on installing
the Linux agent on your distribution, see the following:
•
Installing The Agent On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
•
Installing The Agent On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 And CentOS 6.3
•

NOTE: You must add firewall exceptions to all servers running the AppAssure agent for TCP ports 8006 and 8009 to
enable the AppAssure 5 Core to access the agents.
