Configure the Apex Central server to download components from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server or other update sources. You can specify other update sources if the Apex Central server is unable to connect to the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server directly or if you host an update server in your network.

By default, Apex Central uses a more secure HTTPS connection method to download components from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server.

To access other update sources, Apex Central supports Remote UNC authentication, which uses a user account from the update source server to share a folder for Apex Central to download updates.
