How to whitelist  SecureEndPointManager or SEM for Chrome Browser.

Resolution

Secure EndPoint Manager:

  • Secure Endpoint Manager (SEM) is a software component that is installed on client device.
  • It is installed when the SMA product is accessed from Web browser.
  • SEM enables a user on client device to log in to an SMA appliance and perform task using Web browser.
  • SEM updates or installer do not require Admin access.
  • Some third-party firewall products regulate outbound Connections by process (In addition to port and protocol)  We suggest the user machine be instructed to "unblock" or                 "permit" the outbound Connection.
  • Secure Endpoint Manager is supported on Windows & Mac OSX
