Configure AMS for the Domain Name System (DNS) Name

The Asset Management System (AMS) lets you view discovered and owned data for an asset that has been linked through reconciliation. After you install the AMS, which requires that you install the Java Development Kit (JDK) before you start the CA APM installation, the component is configured for the AMS server name, and not the public DNS name. To configure the component for the DNS name, change a setting for the AMS component in the web configuration file.

To configure AMS for the DNS name

1. On the web server, navigate to the following folder:

   [ITAM Root Path]\Web Server
   

2. Open the web.config file with a text editor.
3. Locate the following statement:

   <add key="AMS" value="http://AMS Server Name:9080/AMS/login.do" />
   

4. Modify the statement to change the AMS server name with the public DNS name.

   <add key="AMS" value="http://Public DNS Name where AMS is installed:9080/AMS/login.do" />
   

5. Save the changes to the web.config file and close the file.

   AMS uses the DNS name instead of the AMS server name.

Note: Subsequent updates to the web server configuration through System Configuration in the product overwrite the changes you make in this procedure.
