Agent Scanning over Internet
Hey there,
Two questions:
1.) Is it possible to have the asset agent communicate over the internet? If so, what are the parameters necessary? For example I see there is a server address and agent port, so say my server is hosted on a server called "SDPServer". Would I be able to have a Firewall rule to allow connections to http://SDPServer.domain.com:9000 and have laptops on the internet update their information?
2.) What would be the implications of having asset information updated while the user is at home/on the road? Since the IP is now their WAN address, will scanning rely on this new IP for subsequent scans or does it not matter since the agent is pushing its updates to the server?
If internet-based scanning is possible this will be very good to keep assets up to date. If not, it should be included as a new feature.
