-
After installing XCS, any Xcitium configuration profiles associated with the user will be applied to the device. See Assign Configuration Profiles to User Devices and Assign Configuration Profiles to a User Group for more.
-
If no profiles are defined for the user then the default profiles for Linux are applied. See Manage Default Profiles for more on this.
You can install the communication
client on the Linux device by completing the following:
$ chmod +x {$installation file$}
$ sudo ./{$installation file$}
For example:
chmod +x itsm_cTjIw6gG_installer.run

The device can now be remotely managed from the Xcitium console.
