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,

    the management console

    requires Windows.

    I can easily write scripts to retrieve any data files

    You'd need at least a Windows endpoint (or management server/SUM) which can connect to Sophos(*), is able to understand the Warehouse structure and can download and decode the files.

    (*) While Using a caching proxy server is written for the Cloud product it might work in a similar fashion for Endpoint as well.

    You won't be able to retrieve the Warehouse (or at least the necessary files) from the Sophos CDN and provide it to the endpoints other than with a Windows installation. Looks like we're discouraged from updating (just) the definitions by downloading the latest IDE files (of course in addition regularly installing the latest standalone package to update the engine) as the virus data version on the IDEs page (right now 5.10) lags behind (the current SA package has apparently 5.11 and the subscriptions 5.12).
