Operating System Command
Linux
./bin/ep-agent.sh set-property PropertyKey PropertyValue
Windows
./bin/ep-agent.bat set-property PropertyKey PropertyValue
The properties are encrypted in the agent.properties le.
Configure an Endpoint Operations Management Agent Keystore
The agent uses a self-signed certicate for internal communication, and a second certicate that is signed by
the server during the agent registration process. By default, the certicates are stored in a keystore that is
generated in the data folder. You can congure your own keystore for the agent to use.
I To use your own keystore, you must perform this task before the rst agent activation.
Procedure
1 In the agent.properties le, activate the # agent.keystore.path= and # agent.keystore.password=
properties.
Dene the full path to the keystore with agent.keystore.path and the keystore password with
agent.keystore.password.
2 Add the [agent.keystore.alias] property to the properties le, and set it to the alias of the primary
certicate or private key entry of the keystore primary certicate.
Configure the Endpoint Operations Management Agent by Using the Configuration Dialog
The Endpoint Operations Management agent conguration dialog appears in the shell when you start an
agent that does not have conguration values that specify the location of the vRealize Operations Manager
server. The dialog prompts you to provide the address and port of the vRealize Operations Manager server,
and other connection-related data.
The agent conguration dialog appears in these cases:
n
The rst time that you start an agent, if you did not supply one or more of the relevant properties in the
agent.properties le.
n
When you start an agent for which saved server connection data is corrupt or was removed.
You can also run the agent launcher to rerun the conguration dialog.
Prerequisites
Verify that the server is running.
Procedure
1 Open a terminal window on the platform on which the agent is installed.
2 Navigate to the AgentHome/bin directory.
