REST API fails to correctly pull Linux client cidsDefsetVersion info

Products

• Endpoint Protection

Issue/Introduction

A REST API can be created to pull AV and Client Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) version information.

cidsDefsetVersion="NULL"

Cause

CIDS detection isn't a part of the Linux client software, so no CIDS definitions exist on a Linux machine.

Environment

Endpoint Protection 14.x
Linux versions

Resolution

For Linux clients only AV definition version information is available.
