You register a trusted host from the system where you install a Web Agent; the host registration process is part of the Agent installation and configuration process. After registration is complete, the registration tool creates the SmHost.conf file. After this file is created successfully, the client computer becomes a trusted host. A trusted host must be registered to communicate with the Policy Server.
Note: You cannot create a trusted host using the Administrative UI; you can only view a trusted host once it is registered or delete a trusted host.
Upon initialization, the Web Agent uses the trusted host's configuration settings in the Host Configuration File (SmHost.conf). The Web Agent attempts to connect to the first Policy Server listed under the PolicyServer parameter of the Host Configuration File. If the trusted host fails to connect to the first Policy Server, the trusted host attempts to connect to the next Policy Server listed, if any.
Once the Web Agent connects to its bootstrap Policy Server, the trusted host looks for the Host Configuration Object, named in the hostconfigobject parameter of the Smhost.conf file. You specify this value when you register the trusted host. The trusted host then retrieves its configuration.
Important! You only register the host once, not each time you install and configure a Web Agent.
