Endpoint Protection

Will the trust remote autoprotect work when a Windows SEP client accesses a SAMBA share on a Linux system in which SAV for Linux is installed and running auto-protect?

When you read files on a remote computer, however, Auto-Protect might not scan the files. By default, Auto-Protect tries to trust remote versions of Auto-Protect. If the trust option is enabled on both computers, the local Auto-Protect checks the remote computer's Auto-Protect settings. If the remote Auto-Protect settings provide at least as high a level of security as the local settings, the local
Auto-Protect trusts the remote Auto-Protect. When the local Auto-Protect trusts the remote Auto-Protect, the local Auto-Protect does not scan the files that it reads from the remote computer. The local computer trusts that the remote Auto-Protect already scanned the files.

Thanks but i've read how it works. The question is if it's supported on non Windows OS's

No it does not work on non win os

Note: Auto-Protect does not function on Linux platforms, you must run a manual scan on those machines to detect threats.

@Rafeeq  I am not sure from where you are quoting this "Note: Auto-Protect does not function on Linux platforms"

AUTO PROTECT works in the same on Linux as it works on Windows OS

Auto-Protect does function on Linux computers on supported kernels.

I don't have a KB off the top of my head, but I am pretty sure that SEP Windows cannot recognize the Auto-Protect process on non-Windows OSes.

(Edited to add: To clarify, SAVFL Auto-Protect will work on other kernels if you use the script to compile the code yourself, but that's considered unsupported.)
