ClientConnection statement

The Policy Agent acting as a policy server uses the ClientConnection statement to specify the listening port. The Policy Agent acting as a policy client uses this connection to retrieve remote policies.

Results:

An error is flagged if both the ClientConnection and ServerConnection statements are configured on the same Policy Agent. The result is that there is no connection between the policy server and policy client.
If the ClientConnection statement is removed, all connections to policy clients are disconnected.
Updates to the ClientConnection statement are used only for new client connections to the policy server.

Syntax


                     .-16310-.

Parameters

port

Specifies the port that the policy server listens on for TCP connections from policy clients. This port must be the same as the ServerPort value specified on the ServerConnection statement for any policy clients that connect to this policy server.

The valid port values are in the range 1 - 65 535. The default port value is 16 310.

This statement is optional. If a ClientConnection statement is not configured, then the Policy Agent does not act as a policy server, and only listens for local connections using AF_UNIX sockets.

Result: If the port value is updated, then the policy server listens for TCP connections using the updated value.

Restriction: The port value cannot match the port value configured on the ServicesConnection statement.
