Environment
- App Control Console: All Supported Versions
- App Control Agent: All Supported Versions
Objective
This document will describe the steps for configuring Agent Management which allows for authentication with the Agent.
Resolution
- Log in to the Console using an an account with administrative privileges.
- Navigate to Settings > System Configuration > General > Edit.
- Adjust the settings in Agent Management accordingly.
Additional Notes
- When choosing a user or group to manage Agents:
- This option allows administrators to assign elevated dascli (b9cli) command privileges to specific Users or Groups.
- This allows command prompts ran as a User or member of the specified Group to automatically be authenticated.
- A pre-defined group drop down is available for Windows devices, otherwise a SID can be provided.
- Please keep in mind that each User / Group will need to exist on each endpoint.
- When choosing to use a Global Password:
- The Global CLI Password can be changed, but cannot be viewed.
- The Global CLI Password has character restrictions.
- Both a Global Password and User/Group could be configured for use (allows for either option to be used, does not require both).
- Agents must be Connected in order to receive changes.
- Agent Management settings are built into the Policy Installers when changed.
- If Agent Management settings are not configured/not known and an Agent is offline there will be no way to authenticate with an Agent for removal or other modification.
