ESET Secure Authentication – Table of Contents

Synchronization Agent

The agent synchronizes all users in the current domain with the ESET Secure Authentication that it is installed on.

  • The default synchronization interval is 1 hour
  • More than one agent can be installed within a domain (to secure connection/actualization with ESET Secure Authentication)
  • Synchronization is done in bulks. After initial synchronization, just the diff is sent next time to optimize data load
