[#1]

Environment

• App Control Server: All Supported Versions

Objective

Change the hostname of the App Control Server

Resolution

1. Login to the Console and navigate to System Configuration > General > Edit.
2. Update the "Server Address" to match the new name.
3. Once the changes have been applied:
   • It is recommended to use a Subject Alternative Name.
   • The Agent Server Certificate will need to be updated.
   • The Certificate bound to Port 443 in IIS will need to be updated.
4. Existing Agents will need to be manually updated using the dascli setserver command.

Additional Notes

• Agents will not use the new Server Address until they are either reinstalled or manually updated with the setserver command.
• An Agent Upgrade will not update the Server Address.
