About Plug-In Manager Parent topic

OfficeScan includes a framework called Plug-In Manager that integrates new solutions into the existing OfficeScan environment. To help ease the management of these solutions, Plug-In Manager provides at-a-glance data for the solutions in the form of widgets.
Note
Note
None of the plug-in solutions currently support IPv6. The server can download these solutions but will not be able to deploy them to pure IPv6 OfficeScan clients or pure IPv6 hosts.
Plug-In Manager delivers two types of solutions:
  • Native OfficeScan Features
    Some native OfficeScan features are licensed separately and activated through Plug-In Manager. In this release, two features fall under this category, namely, Trend Micro Virtual Desktop Support and OfficeScan Data Protection.
  • Plug-in programs
    Plug-in programs are not part of the OfficeScan program. These programs have their own licenses and are managed mainly from their own management consoles, which are accessible from within the OfficeScan web console. Examples of plug-in programs are Intrusion Defense Firewall, Trend Micro Security (for Mac), and Trend Micro Mobile Security.
This document provides a general overview of plug-in program installation and management and discusses plug-in program data available in widgets. Refer to the documentation for the specific plug-in program for details on configuring and managing the program.
