3 Congure an Endpoint Operations Management Agent Keystore on page 50
The agent uses a self-signed certicate for internal communication, and a second certicate that is
signed by the server during the agent registration process. By default, the certicates are stored in a
keystore that is generated in the data folder. You can congure your own keystore for the agent to use.
4 Congure the Endpoint Operations Management Agent by Using the Conguration Dialog on
page 50
The Endpoint Operations Management agent conguration dialog appears in the shell when you start
an agent that does not have conguration 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.
5 Overriding Agent Conguration Properties on page 51
You can specify that vRealize Operations Manager override default agent properties when they dier
from custom properties that you have dened.
6 Endpoint Operations Management Agent Properties on page 51
Multiple properties are supported in the agent.properties le for an
Endpoint Operations Management agent. Not all supported properties are included by default in the
agent.properties le.
What to do next
Start the Endpoint Operations Management agent.
Activate Endpoint Operations Management Agent to vRealize Operations Manager Server Setup
Properties
In the agent.properties le, properties relating to communication between the
Endpoint Operations Management agent and the vRealize Operations Manager server are inactive by
default. You must activate them.
Procedure
1 In the agent.properties le, locate the following section.
## Use the following to automate agent setup
## using these properties.
##
## If any properties do not have values specified, the setup
## process prompts for their values.
##
## If the value to use during automatic setup is the default, use the string *default* as
the value for the option.
2 Remove the hash tag at the beginning of each line to activate the properties.
#agent.setup.serverIP=localhost
#agent.setup.serverSSLPort=443
#agent.setup.serverLogin=username
#agent.setup.serverPword=password
The rst time that you start the Endpoint Operations Management agent, if agent.setup.serverPword is
inactive, and has a plain text value, the agent encrypts the value.
3 (Optional) Remove the hash tag at the beginning of the line
#agent.setup.serverCertificateThumbprint= and provide a thumbprint value to activate pre-approval
of the server certicate.
