Copy a Host Configuration Object

The recommended way to create a Host Configuration object is to copy an existing Host Configuration object and modify its properties. You can copy the DefaultHostSettings object and use its properties as a template for the new object.

Important! The name of a Host Configuration Object must be unique; do not use the same name as an existing Agent object. If you use a name assigned to another Web Agent, a message displays stating that the trusted host already exists.
