CID Server support different OS's

maeglin
I would like to create a CID server on Linux that provides updates to Linux, Unix and Windows clients. The clients do not have access to the Internet. The CID server shares a directory with the clients and can retrieve its own updates. The "mkinstpkg" tool creates an OS-specific installer which will not work on the other systems. Are the alternate OS files even on the CID server? If this will not work, are there instructions for downloading the update data directly so the CID server can store the update files for the other operating systems? Sincerely

    Hello maeglin,

    only the management server/SUM on Windows can provide cross-platform CIDs.

    are there instructions for downloading the update data directly

    There are two kinds of updates - threat detection data and software updates (including consolidation of threat detection data). The former could be downloaded by Linux but can't be put into the CID, the latter aren't provided in a directly usable format.

    I wonder though whether your network is just this Linux server and these isolated endpoints? Have you already installed Sophos on them (the non-Linux ones, then it's likely the standalone/unmanaged version) - and was your idea that they get their updates via the share on the Linux server?
