Configuring ActiveTransfer Server Details for the Agent
Prerequisites: Ensure that you have the details of the agent port and agent user profile created in ActiveTransfer Server.
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.
*To register the ActiveTransfer Server instance for the agent instance in Command Central
1. In Command Central: Home > ALL > Installations > Instances > instance_name.
2. Click Configuration > ATServerDetail.
3. Click Edit, and add the following details of the ActiveTransfer Server instance that will be used to manage the agent:
Field
Description
Host
Type the ActiveTransfer Server host name or IP address.
