Configuring Mutual Authentication

To use mutual authentication, the server and agents must exchange keys. You export the server key (as a certificate) and import it into the agent keystore, then reverse the process by exporting the agent key and importing it into the server keystore. When using an agent relay, the relay must swap certificates with the server and with the remote agents that will use the relay.

When you install a server, the alias server (used for certificate key generation) is assigned to the server. However, for each agent and agent relay for which you want to configure mutual authentication, you must first create an alias.
