Implement Local Configuration

You can control weather 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).

To implement local configuration

1. Log into the Policy Server User Interface.
2. In the System tab, click Agent Conf objects.

   A list of Agent Configuration Objects appears.

3. Double-click the Agent Configuration Object associated with the Agent on which you want to enable local configuration.

   The Agent Configuration dialog appears.

4. Click the AllowLocalConfig parameter, and then click Edit

   The Edit Parameter dialog appears.

5. Change the value to yes, and then click OK.

   The Edit Parameter dialog closes.

6. Click OK.

   The Agent Configuration dialog closes, and local configuration is enabled.

7. Open the appropriate local configuration file on your web server and change the parameter settings you want.
8. For traditional agents, set the EnableWebAgent parameter to yes. For Framework agents, go to Step 9.
9. Save and close the file.
10. For Framework agents, do the following steps:
    1. Open the WebAgent.conf file.
    2. Set the value of the enablewebagent parameter to yes.
    3. Close the WebAgent.conf file.
11. Restart the web server.

    Local configuration is enabled and any updated parameters are changed.
