SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Administrator’s Guide
Resetting an Agent’s Key
The first time an agent computer communicates with a SonicWALL CDP appliance, it securely
requests a security key, which will be stored in the local registry and used for future validation.
The administrator may need to reset the security key for an agent. To reset the security key,
perform the following tasks:
Step 1
In the Web Management Interface, navigate to the
Agents > Manage
page.
Step 2
On the
Configure
tab, click the
Reset Security Key
icon
in the
Configure
column for the
agent whose key you want to reset.
Step 3
A status message displays near the bottom of the page to confirm the reset.
Deleting an Agent
The administrator can delete agents in the Web Management Interface. Deleting an agent
allows the administrator to remove the rights of an agent to connect to the SonicWALL CDP
appliance. If an agent is deleted and tries to connect, the agent will be blocked from connecting
or backing up to the SonicWALL CDP.
Deleting an agent requires the following two steps:
•
Deleting the agent using the Web Management Interface.
•
Uninstalling the Agent software from the agent.
If a user uninstalls the Agent software from an agent, or removes the agent from the network,
the agent settings will not be changed and previously backed up data will remain on the
SonicWALL CDP appliance. Similarly, if an administrator deletes an agent, and the Agent
software remains on the agent computer, the agent will reappear in the Web Management
Interface at the next startup.
Note
If you delete an agent from the agents list in the Web Management Interface, any data
associated with the agent will be purged from the appliance.
To delete an agent in the Web Management Interface, perform the following steps:
Step 1
In the Web Management Interface, navigate to the
Agents > Manage
page.
Step 2
On the
Configure
tab, click the
Delete Agent
icon in the
Configure
column for the agent you
want to remove.
