Add an alias to an agent

Prerequisite: Set properties for mutual authentication

Before you can generate a certificate for an agent, you must add an alias to the agent.

Note: Administrative privileges required.

To add an alias to an agent:

  1. Make sure your agent machine JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the directory where java is installed.

  2. Open a shell and navigate to the <agent_install_directory>\conf directory.

  3. From the <agent_install_directory>\conf directory, run the following command, where <alias_name> is the name you give the agent alias. We recommend using the agent's name.:

    Copy code
    keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=localhost" -alias <alias_name> -keypass changeit -keystore agent.keystore -storepass changeit -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 7305

  4. To check the result, run this command: 

    keytool -list -keystore agent.keystore
