The Directory Gateway server task updates the list of domains where an agent runs. This updated list is needed during IPS exception rule creation, because exception rules are enforced only on the domains listed in the database. Over time, domains are added and removed, so the list needs to be update periodically to ensure proper application of exceptions.
For this task, select a domain in the list that appears on which to run the update and enter the required domain user name and password credentials. The appropriate directory servers are then queried for domain updates. This task can be scheduled on a daily or weekly interval depending on the size of the environment, with larger deployments requiring more frequent updates.
