Node Authentication is the technique
used to ensure that the managing server and data collectors communicate
with each other in a secure manner. In Node Authentication related
configuration, the Kernel,
Data Collectors or
Port Consolidator operate in secure mode either individually or in
combination. The configuration changes are common for all the modes
except that a particular component can be made to operate in a different
mode by changing the property security.enabled on that particular
component. You can use the following combinations:
- Managing server in secure mode and the data collector in non secure
mode.
- Data collector in secure mode and the managing server in non secure
mode.
- Managing server and data collector in secure or non secure mode.
