Capture Client: Differences between "Sonicwall-managed" and "Self-managed" versions
Description
This article explains the difference between "Sonicwall-managed" and "Self-managed" versions used in Security Policies in the Capture Client management console.
Capture Client Security Policies
Capture Client has two types of security policies:
1. Capture Client Policies - These are top-level polices applied to the client. They define which version of Capture Client should be installed, and which agent policies will apply to each device.
2. Agent Policies - These are policies define the settings for each major feature or service within Capture Client. The agents policies supported by Capture Client are "Threat Protection" and "Trusted Certificates".
Resolution
Sonicwall-Managed Versions
When the Capture Client Version or SentinelOne Agent Version is set to Sonicwall-managed, clients will be upgraded automatically when SonicWall releases a new client version and updates the SonicWall-managed version. When using a SonicWall-managed version in a policy, administrators allow SonicWall to manage upgrades for that client.
Self-Managed Versions
When the Capture Client or SentinelOne Agent Version is set to Self-managed, clients will be upgraded only when the administrator explicitly updates the policy to a new version. When using a Self-managed version in a policy, administrators control the version deployed to devices.
