Windows Agentless Connection Information

The Windows Agentless endpoint type lets you manage privileged Windows accounts.

Note: If you configure a domain user on a local computer, CA Access Control for Virtual Environments cannot change the password of the domain user. This limitation is due to Windows behavior.

When you create endpoints of this type, provide the following information:

User Name

Defines the name of an administrative user of the endpoint. CA Access Control Enterprise Management uses this account to perform administrative tasks on the endpoint, for example, to connect to the endpoint, discover accounts, and change passwords.

Password

Defines the password of the administrative user of the endpoint.

Host

Defines the host name of the endpoint.

Example: myhost-ac-1

Host Domain

Specifies the domain name that this host is a member of.

Note: Specify the host domain name with only the prefix. For example, if the full domain name is company.com, you enter only the prefix company.

Is Active Directory

Specifies whether the user account is an Active Directory account.

User Domain

Specifies the domain name that the user is a member of.

Note: Specify the user domain name with only the prefix. For example, if the full domain name is company.com, you enter only the prefix company.

Important! Verify that you specified the host domain name if you want to log in to the endpoint using PUPM Automatic Login. If the endpoint is a member of workgroup, specify the host name and not the workgroup name.

Note: For more information regarding additional steps required to configure Windows Agentless endpoints. refer to the Enterprise Administration Guide.
