Arellia can connect to LANDesk Management Suite servers and scan software delivery packages for applications that can be whitelisted by Arellia Application Control Solution. 

This integration requires Arellia 8.0 or greater

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Foreign Software Systems > User Credentials 
  2. Create a New Credential that has access to the LANDesk Server
  3. Navigate to Configuration > Foreign Software Systems > Foreign Software System Types > LANDesk 
  4. Select New > New LANDesk Server Instance and specify the name and URL of the LANDesk server
  5. On the next screen specify the credentials that should be used to access the LANDesk server
  6. Right-click the newly created LANDesk instance and select Synchronize Packages  
  7. This will do an on-demand scan of the packages currently on that notification server.
  8. To setup a recurring schedule for LDMS Package Synchronization, click on the Tasks tab 
  9. Navigate to  Jobs and Tasks > Infrastructure Scheduled Activities > LANDesk > Synchronize LANDesk Packages task 
  10. Set the LANDesk server and then set the schedule for how often Arellia should scan the packages
  11. Arellia will then routinely scan the packages on the LDMS Server
  12. After the synchronization has completed the LANDesk Packages can be used in Arellia Application Control Package Whitelists
