Install and configure the location database

Install and configure the location database

User session details include the IP address of the currently logged-in user. This information is displayed on the Recent Sessions page. For public IP addresses you can also display the geographical location associated with a specific IP address, however this requires a location database to be installed on the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance and each Remote Site Appliance. You can install the MaxMind Geolocation database free of charge and display user locations for any public IP address.

MaxMind offers country and city databases. A city database is typically larger in size and takes longer to install. A country database provides only the name of the country associated with each public IP address, while a city database allows the appliance to display the city, state (if applicable), and the country.

You can periodically refresh the location database by installing an updated version. While it is possible to install multiple databases over time, the most recently installed database overwrites the contents of the previous version. For example, if a country database is already installed, and you install a city database on the appliance, the Location column on the Recent Sessions page reflects the information from the newly installed city database.

For complete information about MaxMind Geolocation databases, visit https://www.maxmind.com/.

Enabling SSL provides a secure web browser to run the appliance.
