2.2 Using a Specific Advanced Authentication Server

You can specify an Advanced Authentication server with daemon host on the Authentication Agent that can be used when a workstation is not joined to a domain. You can also use this option when the user wants to force a connection to a specific Advanced Authentication server with daemon host when a workstation with Authentication Agent is joined to a domain.

To discover a specific server, perform the following:

  1. In the C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Windows Client\config.properties file, configure discovery.host = <IP_address|domain_name>.

    For example, discovery.host = 192.168.20.40 or discovery.host = auth2.mycompany.local.

  2. Restart the system.
