Adding a Managed Server

Use the Product Servers screen to register managed servers to the Apex Central server.

Note:

  • If the Add button is disabled, then the product registers to Apex Central using the managed product management console.

  • Before performing policy management on a newly added managed server, click Directory Management and move the managed product from the New Entity folder to another location.

    For more information, see Managing the Product Directory.

  • Registered cloud services do not display in the Server list on the Product Servers screen. To register cloud services or view/unregister currently registered cloud services, click Cloud Service Settings.

    For more information, see Configuring Cloud Service Settings.

  1. Go to Directories > Product Servers.

    The Product Servers screen appears.

  2. Select a product from the Server Type drop-down list.

    A list of registered managed servers appears.

  3. Click the Add button or the Add a product link in the table.

    The Add Server screen appears.

  4. Specify the following server information:

    • Server: Type the <managed product> server name, FQDN, or IPv4/IPv6 address, and port number (if any).

    • Display name: Specify the name of the <managed product> server that displays in Apex Central.

  5. If logging onto the managed server requires authentication, specify the following credentials:

    • User name: Provide the name of a <managed product> account with administrator privileges.

    • Password: Type the password for the provided account.

    Important:

    Apex Central requires an account with administrator privileges to deploy policy settings.

    For more information, see Configuring Proxy Settings for Managed Products.
