Manage Client Registration Profiles

Client Registration Profiles (CRP) simplify EPM-UL deployments by allowing the user to configure some environmental settings during an installation. For example, a profile might be used to copy encryption keys from machine to machine to enable communication, to copy a settings file, or to immediately join RNS groups. Without using CRP, administrators must manually provision files, keys, etc. on every host. CRP provides a centralized, customizable definition of what an installation looks like and handles that provisioning. A Client Registration Profile editor is available for policy and RNS servers on the Client Registration page.

Client Registration Profiles can optionally be used with any EPM-UL install, but must be used with RNS.

To manage Client Registration Profiles go to Hosts > Hosts Inventory > View Host Details > Client Registration Profiles. A new Client Registration Profile can be created by selecting Add New Registration Profile, entering a Profile name, and clicking Create.
