Managing agents

BMC Atrium Single Sign-On allows you to edit and delete agents from the Agent Manager. The names for the agent and user are based on the host name and port of the URL for the BMC product server where the agent resides. This name uses the following template:

BMCJEE<Agent>@<host>:<port> or <uri>@<host>.<port>

• host is the FQDN of the host.
• port is the main port number.
• uri is the URI of the application.

For information about the Agent Manager and agent parameters that can be modified, see Agent-manager-in-multi-tenant-environment.

1. On the BMC Atrium SSO Admin Console, click Agent Details.
2. Select the agent that you want to edit.
3. Click Edit.
4. Modify the parameters and click Save.

To delete an agent account

If a product has become unusable and the uninstall utility can no longer be used to perform an orderly cleanup and de-integration with BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, you might need to perform a manual cleanup.

1. On the BMC Atrium SSO Admin Console, click Agent Details.

3. Click Delete.
4. On the BMC Atrium SSO Admin Console, select the user session that has the same name as the J2EE agent (if one exists).
5. Click Invalidate Selected.

To manage agent certificates

You can create certificates again manually without reintegration of different BMC products with BMC Atrium Single Sign-On. For more information, see Managing-agent-certificates.

2. Select the agent for which you to enable logging.
