Check SmHost.conf File Permissions for Shared Secret
Rollover
If you enable shared secret rollover, the user who owns the web server process
must have permissions to write to the SmHost.conf file. If this file cannot be
modified by this user, then the shared secret rollover cannot be updated.
For example, for Sun Java System and Apache web servers, the person specified
by the User directive needs write permission to the SmHost.conf file. If the
SmHost.conf file is owned by User1 and no other user has write permissions, the
shared secret rollover cannot be updated if User2 owns the server process.
Reconfigure a Web Agent
Reconfigure a Web Agent for the following reasons:
■
You have upgraded the Web Agent and now you need to update the
configuration
■
You need to change the configuration settings previously defined for a Web
Agent
■
You need to remove the configuration settings from the Web Agent without
uninstalling the entire Web Agent (you would need to configure the Web
Agent again at a later time)
■
You want to configure the Web Agent for a different Web Server installed on
the same system as the configured server.
To reconfigure a Web Agent in any mode, re-run the Configuration Wizard. There
are no additional steps or prompts for reconfiguring an Agent.
