Create a data source to synchronize McAfee Vulnerability Manager

and ePolicy Orchestrator

You must synchronize McAfee Vulnerability Manager data with ePolicyOrchestrator server

data.This avoids duplication by ensuring that systems and other assets from a McAfee

Vulnerability Manager Discovery Scan are matched to ePolicy Orchestrator server-managed

assets.

You can also set up a data source from the McAfee Vulnerability Manager interface. See the

McAfee Vulnerability Manager documentation for details on how to do this.

Add Data Source

Enable McAfee Vulnerability Manager to connect to the ePolicy Orchestrator database

server by providing a name, data source type, ePolicy Orchestrator server address,

ePolicy Orchestrator server database name, ePolicy Orchestrator database server user

name, and password.

NOTE:

If you leave the user name and password blank, the data synchronization service

will try to use the account that the data synchronization service is configured to for

authentication of the ePolicy Orchestrator database server. This requires configuring the

service to run as a domain user that has access to the ePolicy Orchestrator database

server.
