Step 7. Save the file with your changes.
Step 8. If the System Manager is running, stop and restart it.
Step 9. On each agent host, become user ids:
$ su - ids
Step 10. Edit the agent configuration file; for example:
$ vi /etc/opt/ids/ids.cf
Step 11. Locate the REMOTEHOST parameter in the [RemoteSA] section. See ids.cf (5).
Step 12. Add your interface address (IP address or host name) chosen in step 2 above. For
example, change
REMOTEHOST
to
REMOTEHOST 1.2.3.4
NOTE The REMOTEHOST parameter is overridden when you import the certificate bundle with
IDS_importAgentKeys. See “Configuring a Multihomed Administration System” on
page 27.
Step 13. Save the file with your changes.
Step 14. If the agent is running, have it reread its configuration file, as described in “Forcing
