Modify Agent Settings

Use the Modify Agent Settings page to update the settings of AuthAnvil agents on selected machines in a selected AuthAnvil group. These settings are similar to the ones available on the Deploy Agents page, with some exceptions.

Procedure

Select the AuthAnvil Agent Group to update..
Select machines in the Select the endpoints that you wish to deploy new settings to list.
Select AuthAnvil Server Settings.
- This identifies the specific Two Factor Authentication server and Site ID you will use to authenticate user passcodes for a given set of machines.
- Each customer organization may have its own Two Factor Authentication server to manage its own set of user passcodes.
- The Site ID identifies the partition of a Two Factor Authentication server you are using. By default this is 1.
Optionally configure a second Two Factor Authentication server for redundancy.
Enter Override Settings.
- This ensures the VSA administrator still has access to the machine if the 2FA passcode cannot be used.
- You can modify override settings using the Change Override Password page.
Optionally set Advanced Settings.
- Enable offline caching mode - If checked, a small number of passcodes are cached on the machine. The number is specified on the Two Factor Authentication server. This enables two factor authentication of a user logon even if the machine cannot connect to the server. For example, a laptop in the field may not be able to establish a network connection.
Click Deploy.
- You can modify agent settings after you deploy them using the Modify Agent Settings page.
- Confirm AuthAnvil agents have been successfully deployed using the Discover Agents page.
- View the results of a Discover Agents query using the View AuthAnvil Agent Info page.
