You can configure unidirectional communications at first startup. Unidirectionalcommunications are always via SSL.This section has instructions for changing agent communications from bidirectional tounidirectional and vice versa after the agent has already been configured.Changing from Bidirectional to Unidirectional Communications1. Stop the agent.2. Remove the agent's \data directory.Removing the \data directory will cause the agent, at next startup, to look for thestartup settings it needs to connect to the HQ Server in its agent.properties file; if theproperties file doesn't contain them, it will prompt for settings in the shell.3. Configure the agent for unidirectional communications using one of these methods:o If your practice is to provide all agent startup properties in the properties file, editagent.properties to set agent.setup.unidirectional=yes, and startthe agent.o If your practice is to configure the agent startup properties interactively, start theagent, and respond "yes" when asked if the agent should be configured forunidirectional communications.4. In the HQ user interface, navigate to the platform's Inventory tab and click Edit in the"Type & Network Properties" section.In the edit view for "Type & Network Properties", the "Agent Connection" drop-down listwill show your currently selected port for bidirectional communications, something like10.2.0.213:2144, where 10.2.0.213 is the IP address of the platform, and 2144 is thebidirectional port number previously used.5. Expand the drop-down list and select the entry that shows the same IP address, and "-1"as the port:6. 10.2.0.213:-1Your agent will now use unidirectional communications.99
