Considerations for using application control on
Linux
devices

Consider the following before you enable application control in a device policy for
Linux
devices:
  • Folder exclusions in the application control policy are not supported by the
    Linux
    agent.
  • When application control is enabled, an inventory of all executable files on the local file system is generated. File execution is restricted to the files in the inventory.
  • Executable files can be added to the device after application control is enabled, but these cannot run. Only applications that are in the inventory when application control is enabled are allowed to run.
  • Allowing an update on a
    Linux
    device with application control enabled may cause issues.
