Deployment in an ENC Environment

To successfully deploy software in an ENC environment, that is, with a firewall in the middle, the following preconditions must be met:

• The Infrastructure Deployment component of Client Automation requires that both the DMPrimer and the dmkeydat.cer file (deployment certificate) must be present on the target computer.

  For details on how to achieve this, see the Manual Installation of the Infrastructure Deployment Primer Software and Provide the Deployment Management Security Key to a Primer Installation sections.

• The ENC Client component must be running and operational on the target computer. The ENC Client component is installed with the basic hardware inventory component and is made operational by setting its configuration.
• The Infrastructure Deployment policy options, Use host names and Do not ping target during scan, must be set to True.
• The Infrastructure Deployment policy option Always deploy primer must be set to False. The reason for this is that in an ENC environment the target is likely to have a firewall, so the primer cannot be deployed by the usual methods and an alternative must be used.
