Question & Answer
Question
During tests it was noted that tacmd setagentconnection command when used with "-a" option did not restart all agents present on the host. Only the OS Agent was restarted.
For example:
- You have HD, SY and the OS agent running and issue the following tacmd command to update the TLS and cipher settings...
- tacmd setagentconnection -a -n Primary:yourhost:NT -e KDEBE_TLS10_ON=NO KDEBE_TLS11_ON=NO KDEBE_TLSV12_CIPHER_SPECS='TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256'
- Wait until the deployment finishes with SUCCESS
Results
On the host with Windows OS Agent:
- The changes set in the "-e" option are made in all ini files but only KNT is restarted during deployment.
All other agents are stopped but not started during the deployment process.
