Changing Agent Configuration
The Secret Server Remote Agent's connection settings can be edited by changing the SecretServerAgentService.exe.config file in the install directory. (Default is C:\[Program Files Directory]\Thycotic Software Ltd\Secret Server Agent) The settings that are available to edit are all in the UnencryptedSettings section of the file. They are:
- ServerEndPointUrl - This value must point to the URL and Port of your Secret Server Installation, matching the values set on the 'Remote Password Changing Agent Configuration' page in Secret Server. Note: For a clustered environment this value can contain a semi-colon separated list of server end points.
- ConnectionCheckIntervalMilliseconds - This value is how often the Agent will ping the server to ensure that the connection is still valid. If the connection is not valid, the Agent will attempt to reconnect.
- ConfirmationCode - The Installation Confirmation code of the Agent. There is no reason to change this value.
Any changes to the fields on the 'Remote Password Changing Agent Configuration' page in Secret Server will not update already installed Agents.
An Example of the Configuration section:
<UnencryptedSettings>
<add key="ServerEndPointUrl" value="net.tcp://thycotic.com:9999" />
<add key="ConnectionCheckIntervalMilliseconds" value="3600000" />
<add key="ConfirmationCode" value="IGEK5 - TLICQ - MU5JW - OARM3 - INGWM - ZQ=" />
</UnencryptedSettings>
An Example of the Configuration section for a clustered environment:
<UnencryptedSettings>
<add key="ServerEndPointUrl" value="net.tcp://201.172.84.233:9999;net.tcp://201.111.84.233:9999" />
<add key="ConnectionCheckIntervalMilliseconds" value="3600000" />
<add key="ConfirmationCode" value="IGEK5 - TLICQ - MU5JW - OARM3 - INGWM - ZQ=" />
</UnencryptedSettings>
