Common Agent Automatic Installation
Common Agent Components
The Common Agent runs at all times as a daemon, listening for requests on
behalf of all the UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X client agents that are installed on
the system. During each client agent’s installation, the BROWSER, AGENT,
MERGE, and VERIFY components are registered with the Common Agent in a
separate section.
Not all client agents may have all of these components. For example, in the
following sample configuration file, you can see the BROWSER component
cabr, the AGENT component uagentd, and the MERGE and VERIFY component
umrgd in the section for the UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X client agent. Similarly,
other client agents use other BROWSER and AGENT components.

Common Agent Port Numbers
By default, the Common Agent uses port number 6051 for both TCP and user
datagram protocol (UDP). To change the default port, you must modify the
BABcmagt section of the agent.cfg file with the new port numbers, and then
restart the Common Agent by issuing the caagent stop command, followed by
the caagent start command. Do not use the caagent update command after
modifying port numbers.
Note:
Under normal conditions, this method should
not be used
to start or
stop the Common Agent. Instead, you should run the Start and Stop scripts of
the individual UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X client agents installed on the
system.
