Setting up the TrueSight Network Automation connector
You can set up the system connectors either during the installation process or afterwards. It is mandatory to set up at least one of the system connectors during installation. Other connectors can be set up afterwards from the Connectors tab on the Administration page.
The TrueSight Server Automation connector enables communication between TrueSight Vulnerability Management and a TrueSight Network Automation application server. This topic describes how to set up connection to the TrueSight Network Automation endpoint manager. This procedure assumes that you have not set up the TrueSight Network Automation connection during installation.
Note
When setting up connectors, a single machine cannot host more than one connector of the same type. For example, if you have set up a connector for TrueSight Network Automation on a host, you cannot successfully set up another TrueSight Network Automation connector on the same host.
