Configuring ActiveTransfer Server Details for the Agent

After installing ActiveTransfer Agent through Command Central, you must register the ActiveTransfer Server instance that will be used to manage the agent. You can configure agents to communicate with ActiveTransfer Server either through basic authentication or certificate-based authentication.

Field	Description
Host	Type the ActiveTransfer Server host name or IP address.
Port	Type the HTTP(S) port number created in ActiveTransfer Server for the agent. For details, see Preparing ActiveTransfer Server for ActiveTransfer Agent Installation.
Use SSL	Select this option if Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol must be used when ActiveTransfer Server communicates with the agent instance.
Basic Authentication
Username	Type the user name for the agent user created in ActiveTransfer Server. For details, see Preparing ActiveTransfer Server for ActiveTransfer Agent Installation.
Password	Type the password for the agent user in ActiveTransfer Server.
Certificate Based Authentication
Configured Certificate	This field is populated with the keystore if it is preconfigured. By default, this field is empty.
Upload New certificate	Click Browse... to select a different keystore file for SSL connections. This keystore file overrides the default file selected in the Configured Certificate field.
Certificate Password	Type a password for the specified keystore file.

Command Central pushes the keystore files to the agent's Installation_directory\profiles\MAG\configuration\agent directory and configurations such as, hosts, ports, passwords, and certificates to the Installation_directory\profiles\MAG\configuration\com.softwareag.platform.config.propsloader\com.softwareag.mag.common.properties file.
