Site subscription
Sites are collections of Fixlet messages that are created internally by you, by HCL, or by vendors.
Subscribe to a site to access the Fixlet messages to patch systems in your deployment.
You can add a site subscription by acquiring a Masthead file from a vendor or from HCL or by using the Licensing Dashboard. For more information about subscribing to Fixlet sites, see the BigFix Installation Guide.
For more information about sites, see the BigFIx Console Operator's Guide.
Before you can deploy Ubuntu Fixlets, the BigFix server must be subscribed to the Patching Support site. After gathering the site, select the below task based on your deployment and run the task.
- Task ID: 65 Setup Download Whitelist for Ubuntu (Windows Server)
- This task is applicable to Windows servers.
- Task ID: 66 Setup Download Whitelist for Ubuntu (Linux Server)
- This task is applicable to Linux servers.
You must run the task, otherwise, you might encounter the following error: "The requested URL does not pass this deployment's download whitelist."
Ubuntu uses dynamic download while fetching the packages. As a security measure, the server blocks every dynamic download request except the ones with URLs that match the patterns in the white list file. Aside from the endpoints, ensure that the BigFix relay server is subscribed.
