Adding an Alias to an Agent

Before you generate a certificate for an agent, you must add an alias to the agent.

To add an alias to an agent:

Note: You must have administrative privileges to perform this procedure.

Make sure your agent machine JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the directory where java is installed.
Open a shell and navigate to the agent install location \conf directory.
From within the agent's [install_location]\conf directory, run the following command:
```
keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=[alias_name]" -alias [alias_name]
 -keypass changeit -keystore sra.keystore -storepass changeit
 -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -validity 7305
```
where [alias_name] is the name you give the agent alias; we recommend using the agent's name.
To check the result, run the command:
```
keytool -list -keystore sra.keystore
```
