AgentA configuration

Use the AgentA configuration so that a deployed integration can connect to a switch server to enable remote administration.

The AgentA configuration provides an agenta.json file that the deployed integration needs to use a switch server and connectivity agents for remote administration. A switch server is a special type of integration server that routes data. Connectivity agents contain the certificates that your flows need to communicate securely with the switch server. An agenta.json file is used to configure the connectivity agents to connect securely to the switch server.

When a switch server is created, a configuration object of type AgentA is created automatically with the name switchServerName-agenta. An integration can connect to one switch server only, so you can select just one AgentA configuration for an integration or runtime. However, multiple integrations or runtimes can connect to the same switch server.

To configure your integration to connect to an external switch server instead of the internal switch server, create an AgentA configuration on the Configurations tab of the Manage page. For more information, see Providing credentials and secrets in configurations.

To create an AgentA configuration, you can copy the contents of your generated agenta.json file and paste them into the AgentA text editor.

Tip: For security reasons, the agenta.json content that you add is available only as REDACTED content after you create the configuration. If you need to update this configuration later, you must upload another agenta.json file.
