Hi, 

as I know about this acs vulnerability, 

we have about 100 client, is there a way to make a silent remote update? 

thank you.

Check with your Windows engineers... they should have means of pushing this to clients.

Another solution is to configure IBM i ACS to have a system for updates (see Preferences, General, System for checking updates) so that we you install the PTF all clients are updated.

Hello Paolo,

This can be handled by the Windows team, as the machines are managed through a domain controller. They can deploy the updates to all clients centrally, without requiring end users to update them individually.

Please also refer to this information to understand the deployment in detail.

Hi, 

trying putting this line:

com.ibm.iaccess.CheckUpdateSystem=myip

in file: 

/usr/local/ibmiaccess/AcsConfig.properties

and with this command:

sudo /usr/local/ibmiaccess/Documentation/Sample_Scripts/Linux_Mac_Other/acslaunch.pl /plugin=installupdates /noprompt

it works for me, but I didn't understand how it could be connect to myip, because I didn't specify user and password, trying to another mac it doesn't work.

Thank you

Reading better I find the answer:

9.1.38 INSTALLUPDATES

/PLUGIN=installupdates [Options]

Valid options are:
    /noprompt         Do not prompt for user id and password
                      Note: When using this option, if the user's credentials to the remote system
                            are already cached, the check for available updates will continue normally.
                            If the user's credentials are not cached, authorization to the remote
                            system will be denied and updates will not be available.

INSTALLUPDATES will check the configured IBM i system for available updates and will automatically download and install the update to the local PC installation. To configure an IBM i location for downloading updates, see section 5.2.

I let you know if I find some solutions.
