Host Configuration Objects for Trusted Hosts

Host Configuration Objects hold configuration settings for trusted hosts. After a trusted host connects to a Policy Server, it uses the settings in the Host Configuration Object.

On the Web Agent side, the Host Configuration Object being used by the trusted host is identified in the hostconfigobject parameter of the SmHost.conf file. The settings in the SmHost.conf file are used by the Web Agent during the initialization phase of each web server child process. This means that the SmHost.conf file is not only used at start-up, but may also be used at run time by web servers that start new child processes to add capacity or to replace processes that stop unexpectedly. After initialization, the settings in the Host Configuration Object are used.

You need to create a Host Configuration Object before you can create trusted host objects.
