Linux Files Directories and Commands

There are two locations where Persistent Agent Settings are stored:

• Default Settings: Upon installation of the Persistent Agent, the default settings are written to the vendor locations indicated in the chart below. Settings written to the default location remain until one of the following occurs:

  • Entry is manually changed.

  • Agent is uninstalled.

  • Agent is updated.

    Important:

  • The default location should not be used when pushing settings via software.

  • If the Persistent Agent installer is modified in any way, the update functionality in FortiNAC may remove any or all customization.

• Policy Settings: Used when pushing settings via software. These settings take precedence over the Default Settings. Policy Settings can only be changed via software push.
