About unidirectional communicationIf you configure an agent for unidirectional communication, all communication with theserver is initiated by the agent. You can configure unidirectional communication at firstagent startup, or with the agent.setup.unidirectional property inagent.properties. Related topics:About Agent - Server CommunicationvFabric Hyperic Security Features and RecommendationsDefaulthqagent.proxyHostDescriptionThe host name or IP address of the proxy server that the vFabric Hyperic Agent mustconnect to first when establishing a connection to the vFabric Hyperic Server.

Encrypt Agent Property ValueStarting in vFabric Hyperic 4.6.6, the agent.properties file supports encrypted propertyvalues.If, prior to first agent startup, you uncomment and assign a plain text value toagent.setup.camPword or agent.keystore.password, the agent will automaticallyencrypt the property value, as described in vFabric Hyperic Security Features andRecommendations.If you prefer, you can encrypt these (and other, if desired) property values yourself.About Where the Agent Finds Server Connection DataNote that upon first successful connection to the vFabric Hyperic Server, a vFabric HypericAgent saves the credentials it used in its /data directory. Upon each restart, the agentlooks first in that directory for server connection details. Hence, edits to the username andpassword (agent.setup.cam.Login and agent.setup.camPword) configured inagent.properties have no effect, if the agent has valid connection data its /datadirectory.To add an encrypted entry to agent.properties, run the agent start script(AgentHome/bin/hq-agent.sh or AgentHome/bin/hq-agent.bat with the new setpropertyoption, and supply the name of the property and the value you wish to encrypt.Do not use set-property option on an agent upgraded to v4.6.6The set-property option is only supported for newly installed agents. You cannotmanually encrypt properties for an agent that you upgraded to 4.6.6 by pushing the 4.6.6bundle from the vFabric Hyperic Server. Note however that if an upgraded agent'sagent.properties file contains uncommented password properties with plaintextvalues, they will be automatically encrypted.The command syntax is:./hq-agent.sh set-property PropertyKey PropertyValueFor example, to set the agent.setup.camPword to "hqadmin":./bin/ hq-agent.sh set-property agent.setup.camPword hqadmin79
