Environment

NQKeyGenWindows
Situation
How do I verify whether or not an AppManager agent is using RPC Encryption?
Resolution
To verify the current security level for an AppManager agent, run the following command from a Command Prompt on the agent computer
nqkeygenwindows - agentseclev
The security level can be determined remotely from another agent machine, Management Server, or Console by using the following command:
nqkeygenwindows -remoteseclev machinename
The Windows registry on an agent contains the RPC encryption settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms\Config
String : RPC Encryption
String: RPC Authentication
- OFF = 0
- ON = 1
You can change the setting for RPC encryption using the NQKeyGenWindows utility. For a list of valid parameters and options, execute NQKeyGenWindows from a command prompt.
