Authenticating the Unified Agent

Authenticate the Unified Agent using the Authenticate Agent option in the Adaptive Server Administration Console.

Note: While executing this command, you may experience performance degradation if there is a firewall between the Sybase Control Center server and the monitored Adaptive Server host machines. Communication with the Unified Agent uses the Java RMI network protocol, which requires a network connection between the Sybase Control Center server and Unified Agent. If the firewall prevents these connections from being established, then performance may degrade.

In the Perspective Resources view, select a resource, then select Administration Console.
Click ASE Servers.
You see a list of monitored servers.
Click the Name field of the server you want to manage.
You see a list of options allowing you to start and stop the server, register the agent, and so on.
Click Authenticate Agent.
You see the Server Properties screen.
Enter the agent user name and password (optional) for the Unified Agent.

You must have configured the Unified Agent to allow the Sybase Control Center user to authenticate. The Sybase Control Center user must also have the necessary permissions to manage the Adaptive Server using the Unified Agent.

Note: The authentication credentials for the Unified Agent are different from those used to authenticate the Adaptive Server resource.
(Optional) Click Clear Authentication.
