Configuration values

For both local and remote configuration, you provide the configuration values for the agent to operate.

When you are configuring an agent, a panel is displayed so you can enter each value. When a default value exists, this value is pre-entered into the field. If a field represents a password, two entry fields are displayed. You must enter the same value in each field. The values you type are not displayed to help maintain the security of these values.

The configuration for this agent is organized into the following groups:
