Setting up the TrueSight Server 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 Server Automation application server. This topic describes how to set up connector to the TrueSight Server Automation endpoint manager. This procedure assumes that you have not set up the TrueSight Server Automation connector during installation.
Before you begin
To set up a connector, web services must be enabled on the TrueSight Server Automation application server.
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 Server Automation on a host, you cannot successfully set up another TrueSight Server Automation connector on the same host.
