After selecting the “r” option from the menu, the user is asked a yes or no question to revoke access to all clients or
select the client to revoke access from a list. Selecting “no” will display a list of all authorized clients. Entering the IP
address or index number (ID number) of the client to revoke will write the information to the Policy Map file on exiting the
LCE Client Manager utility. Select “0” to return to the main menu. Selecting “yes” will cause all clients to have their
authorization revoked and to be written to the Policy Map on exiting the utility. After a confirmation message is written to
the terminal, the user is returned to the main menu.
Exit the utility with the “q” menu option to save the policy file to disk and activate the changes.
[d] Display Clients by Policy Assignment
To display a list of clients grouped by the policy assigned to the client, select the “d” option from the menu. A list of all
clients in the Policy Map file will be displayed sorted by the client policy assigned. Once the list is complete, the user is
returned to the main menu.
[p] Display Available Policies
The “p” option displays the policies available to assign to clients, which can also be used as a base for developing new
policies. A list is displayed with a column for the filename of the policy, client type, and OS.
[a] Add New Policy
Selecting the “a” option from the main menu begins the process to add a new policy to the LCE Client Manager. During
the creation of a new policy, the user is prompted for information including the policy name, the OS type, the client type,
and add the elements and options for the policy file (elements are the valid options for a LCE Client). The policy file
contents are displayed on screen during the creation process. When the addition and creation of the elements are
completed, the changes may be saved to the new policy file and the user is returned to the main menu.
[c] Copy a Policy
There are times when it is desirable to copy an existing policy, such as when a default policy needs to be modified for use
in the environment. Select the “c” option from the main menu and a list of policy names will be displayed, ending with
.lcp. Type the entire policy name at the prompt and press “Enter”. Enter the desired name of the policy to be created
and press “Enter”. The policy will be copied and created under the new name, preserving the original policy file.
[m] Modify an Existing Policy
Selecting the “m” option from the main menu allows the user to edit an existing policy. When selected, a list of editable
policies is displayed ending with .lcp. Enter the filename to be modified followed by the “Enter” key. The policy is
displayed, including its values. Select the appropriate option from the available menu to add, delete, or modify an existing
key. Once the changes are satisfactorily made, select the “save and exit” option to preserve the changes and return to the
main menu.
[s] Assign a Policy to a Client(s)
The “s” option from the main menu allows the user to assign a policy to one or more clients. The first step is to select the
clients from the presented list via the IP address or ID. The clients selected must be of the same OS and client type.
Select “0” when all the clients have been selected. Enter the filename of the policy to apply to the clients from the
available list and press “Enter”. The selected policy will be associated with the selected client(s) and applied on exiting the
LCE Client Manager.
[v] Assign Client(s) to a New LCE Server
As organizations grow or devices change location, LCE Clients may need to be modified to report to a different LCE
server. In this case, select “v” from the main menu. Select the desired clients to change from the list of available clients by
IP address or ID and select “0” when complete. Enter the IP address and the port of the new LCE server. Once applied,
the designated client will have the new server information applied to it. The new LCE server must be configured to
authorize the client and configure its policy information.
[i] Import a Policy File
When a policy file has been created outside of the LCE Client Manager, it may be imported to the configuration via the “i”
option of the main menu. After selecting the option, enter the full path and file name of the policy file to import. Once
