Nodes that you manage with HTTPS agents require certificates. Certificates enable nodes to communicate securely with the management server and other nodes. Unless you install the certificates manually, the node requests them from the management server. Before you can start to manage the node, you need to grant this certificate request.
You can configure the certificate server to automatically grant the following types of certificate request:
Click Namespaces, and then click Agent Certificate Autogranting. A list of values appears.
If you set this value to false, the management server does not grant any certificate requests automatically.
To automatically grant certificate requests from nodes to which the management server recently deployed the HTTPS agent:
To automatically grant certificate requests from specific nodes that you flag:
Alternatively, to set the flag for an existing node:
Set the value of Combination mode of autogranting conditions to AND or OR. Use AND to automatically grant any certificate request that not only arrives in the specified time but also comes from a flagged node. Use OR if certificate requests must meet just one of these criteria.
For the AND operation to function properly, set both Enable autogranting by time interval and Enable autogranting of flagged nodes to true.
