Update the Agent Authentication Key

You can view and update the key used by agents to register with the CA Enterprise Log Manager server. Changing this key regularly helps prevent unauthorized agents from being installed in your environment. By default, the key is the same for all CA Enterprise Log Manager servers across application instances. However, you can set this key to be unique by application instance.

The agent installer must enter this agent key as the Authorization Code in the agent installation wizard.
