Trusted Host Configuration Settings

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.
