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.
