Central Configuration

A central agent configuration manages one or more Web Agents from an Agent Configuration Object in the Policy Server. The Agent Configuration Object that resides in the Policy Server contains the parameters used by the Web Agents. One advantage of central configuration is that you can update the parameter settings of several agents at once. Most parameter changes occur dynamically, but some Framework parameters require a web server restart after they are changed.

You create and edit an Agent Configuration Object with the Administrative UI. Each Web Agent communicating with the Policy Server must be associated with an Agent Configuration Object, but many Web Agents can use a single Agent Configuration Object.

Note: For more information about creating an Agent Configuration Object, see the Policy Server documentation.
