No Connection From Trusted Host to Policy Server

Symptom:

Trusted host cannot make a connection to the Policy Server.

Solution:

Do the following:

Ensure that the EnableWebAgent parameter in the WebAgent.conf file is set to yes.
Check for the SmHost.conf file in web_agent_home/config. The presence of this file indicates a successful registration of the trusted host.
