Withdrawing the Authentication

As a system administrator in charge of the security at your company, you are responsible for taking the necessary actions if an Agent is compromised or if you want to upgrade it.

If you are applying the LOCAL or the LOCAL_REMOTE Authentication Method and you want to revoke the authentication of an Agent, you have the option to Withdraw Authentication. This deletes the Authentication Key from the database.

To Withdraw the Authentication of an Agent

1. Log on to Client 0 and switch to the Administration perspective.
2. Expand the Agents & Groups menu in the Administration pane and select Agents.

3. Right-click the Agent and select Withdraw Authentication.

The Agent is disconnected and no longer authenticated.
