How appliances work with ePolicy Orchestrator This topic give a top-level overview of how you can integrate your McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance with your McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator server. With this release, you can monitor the status of your appliances and also manage your appliance from ePolicy Orchestrator. You can directly manage your appliances from within ePolicy Orchestrator, without needing to launch the interface for each appliance. Within ePolicy Orchestrator, the user interface pages that you use to configure and manage your Email and Web Security Appliances have a familiar look-and-feel to the pages that you find within the appliances. When you enable ePolicy Orchestrator management on Email and Web Security appliances, the McAfee Agent that is pre-packaged as part of each appliance is given the configuration information - server name, IP address, passwords to access the ePolicy Orchestrator update repositories, and the public keys needed to gain access - for your ePolicy Orchestrator server. The agent then starts communication between your appliance and the ePolicy Orchestrator server. You can download the ePolicy Orchestrator extensions from the Resources link within the Email and Web Security Appliances user interface. This zip file contains two ePolicy Orchestrator extensions: • the EWG 1.5 extension that provides the monitoring and reporting capabilities for Email and Web Security Appliances versions 5.5 and 5.6, as well as for McAfee Web Gateway and McAfee Email Gateway products, • The EWS 5.6 extension that provides the method to push policy configuration from the ePolicy Orchestrator server to your version 5.6 appliances and Content Security Blade Servers. In addition, you can also download the help extensions for each of these ePolicy Orchestrator extensions. These are also available from the Resources link within the Email and Web Security Appliances user interface. Working from within ePolicy Orchestrator, you can push configurations to all your 'ePolicy Orchestrator-enabled" appliances using the standard ePolicy Orchestrator workflows and features. Further information about configuring your appliance for ePolicy Orchestrator management can be found in the ePO Managed Setup on page 303 topic within the Setup Wizard.
