Update using a remote file

You can specify that the manager relationships will be retrieved from a remote file.

The remote file can either be a single manager information file or a zip file containing single or multiple manager information files. The manager files should use UTF-8 encoding. The manager file names contained within the zip file must only contain ASCII characters.

Secure Exchange Gateway will validate the manager file contents before utilizing them. The validation will check that each line is split using a colon and that it contains valid email addresses. If the validation fails then the file will be rejected. When duplicate users are detected, the first one found will be used and other duplicates will be ignored.

More than one manager can be specified for a sender by using commas to separate the email addresses of the managers. You can specify a sender with no manager by omitting the address of the manager.

For example:

employee1@company.com:manager1@company.com

employee2@company.com:manager2@company.com,manager3@company.com

employee3@company.com:

You can also use a wildcard character ( * ) to specify a range of senders' email addresses. For example:

*:manager1@company.com,manager2@company.com

This acts as a catch-all entry in the list.

  1. Navigate to Policy > Policy References > Manager Relationships. The Manager Relationships page is displayed.
  2. In the Remote File Location panel, click Click here to change these settings.

  3. Enter the URL from which the manager relationships should be updated. When used, the HTTP or HTTPS URLs need to point to a file name, for example:

  4. Click Save.

 
  • If you change any configuration or policy settings, you must Apply Configuration for the new settings to take effect. You can do this either from the Changes Made panel, or System > Configuration > Apply Configuration. See Apply new configuration for more information.
  • If you use Peer Gateways (i.e. when multiple Gateways are peered), any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time. See Configure Peer Gateways for more information.
