Implement Local Configuration

You can control whether local configuration is allowed with the following parameter:

• AllowLocalConfig

  Instructs the Agent Configuration Object on the Policy Server to read the local configuration file to obtain configuration parameters for the Web Agent. This parameter is used only in Agent Configuration Objects.

  You can also add multiple values for this parameter in the Agent Configuration Object to control which parameters can be changed in a local configuration file. When multiple values are set for this parameter, they are processed in the following order:

  • If the value of yes exists together with other configuration parameters in the same Agent Configuration Object, yes takes precedence. The other configuration parameters are the only ones that can be changed in the local configuration file.
  • If the value no exists together with other configuration parameters in the same Agent Configuration Object, no takes precedence. This lets you quickly disable local configuration entirely without having to remove any of the other configuration parameters from the Agent Configuration Object.
  • If the multiple values of yes and no exist in the same Agent Configuration Object, no takes precedence. This lets you quickly disable local configuration entirely without having to remove any of the other configuration parameters from the Agent Configuration Object.

  Default: No

  Example: yes, EnableAuditing, EnableMonitoring (allows local control of the only the two previous parameters).
