To deploy a package to users

Use the Access Mapper to specify users to which the package will be deployed.

Use Access Mapper in the Administrative WebStation to provide access to specific users or groups. If the Administrative Server has been configured to integrate with your enterprise directory using LDAP, the Access Mapper operates in a different mode. For more information, refer to the documentation included with Management and Security Server.

After you make the package available to a user, the next time that user accesses the Links List, the package contents are copied to the user's computer to the locations specified in the MSI package. Files on the user's computer may be overwritten, depending on the options chosen when the MSI package was created.

To update or replace a package

To update an MSI package on the Administrative Server, you essentially replace it with an updated file of the same name.

  1. Make your changes to the MSI package and save it using the same name.

  2. From Package Manager, click the MSI file that you want to replace.

  3. Click Browse, select the modified package, and then click Open.

  4. In the Description field, enter a version number or some other indicator that the package contents have changed, and then click Save.
