Registering KACE Agent with the appliance

Registering KACE Agent with the appliance

Manage KACE Agent tokens
Review quarantined KACE Agents

The appliance uses a registration process to prevent unauthorized access to its resources. Only authenticated KACE Agents can establish a successful connection.

Any Agents that attempt to connect to the appliance are placed on a quarantine list. If an Agent has a valid token, the appliance authenticates the Agent and automatically grants access to the appliance. Agents that do not have a token remain in the quarantine until a system administrator approves their connection request.

You can create and manage Agent tokens, and manage requests from quarantined Agents to connect to the appliance.

Manage KACE Agent tokens

Manage KACE Agent tokens

KACE Agent tokens enable the appliance to authenticate and register Agents, allowing them to access the appliance resources.

Each token can be associated with one or more Agents. Use the Agent Token Detail page to create or modify Agent tokens. This page also identifies all devices that used a specific token to connect to the appliance, and allows you to download Agent installers that include the selected token.

Any Agents that do not have a valid token must be approved by the appliance administrator in order to establish a successful connection. For more information, see Review quarantined KACE Agents.

1.
Do one of the following:
◦
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if Show organization menu in admin header is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
◦
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
The Dashboard or System Dashboard page appears.
2.
Go to the Agent Token Detail page:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Agent Tokens.
The Agent Tokens page appears, displaying the list of all Agent tokens. For each token, it shows a token status, the name of the user who created it, expiration date (if applicable), the number of times the token is used to register an Agent device with the appliance, and the usage limit (if applicable).
3.
On the Agent Tokens list page that appears, complete one of the following steps:
◦
To create a new Agent token, click Choose Action > New.
* 
TIP: To delete or revoke one or more tokens, select them in the list, and use the applicable commands from the Choose Action menu. You can also perform this action on the Agent Token Detail page.
◦
To edit an existing Agent token, click the token name in the list.
4.
On the Agent Token Detail page that appears, under Configuring, provide the following information:

Option

Description

Name

The name of the Agent token. Choose a name that you can easily recognize and associate with a specific agent, platform, or purpose.

NOTE: This field only appears if you are using the System Administration Console.
5.
If you want to specify the number of times the token can be used to register one or more agents with the appliance, under Use Limit, select Enable Use Limit, and in the field that appears, specify the maximum use count.
Unless an agent's history is deleted from the appliance, the agent registers with the appliance only once, so this number represents the total number of times one or more agents can register with the appliance.
6.
Click Save.
If you created a new Agent token, the page displays some additional sections: Information, Agent Token Bundle Installers, Token Usage by Machines, and Token Usage by Provisioning Schedules.
7.
Optional. Review the contents of the following sections:

Section

Token Usage by Machines

A list of devices in the appliance inventory that use this Agent token, and the date and time the appliance administrator approved access for each device.

Token Usage by Provisioning Schedules

A list of provisioning schedules that use this Agent token. For each entry, the list indicates the IP range and whether the schedule is enabled.

Review quarantined KACE Agents

Review quarantined KACE Agents

The appliance keeps track of any agents that request a connection to the appliance.

In a default view, the Quarantine list page only shows the Agents that are waiting for registration. You can use it to review and register applicable Agents. To display already connected Agents, simply change the list filter.

* 
NOTE: On the Quarantine list page, the Zone column shows each agent as Internal or External. If you configure your firewall to map port 443 externally to port 52230 of the appliance, Agents that connect through the firewall to port 443 show up as External on this page. Agents that connect directly to the appliance's port 443 appear as Internal. This feature is optional, but you can use it, for example, if the appliance is hosted in a perimeter network. For more details. see https://go.kace.com/to/k1000-external-agent-port.

Agents that include a valid token are automatically connected. For more information about tokens, see Manage KACE Agent tokens.

1.
Go to the Quarantine list page by doing one of the following:
◦
If your appliance has the Organization component enabled, and you want to access a System-level quarantine list:

Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. Then select Organizations > Quarantine.

A System-level quarantine list includes the Agents associated with all organizations managed by the appliance.

◦
If your appliance does not have the Organization component enabled, or if you want to access an organization-level quarantine list, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. Then select Inventory > Quarantine.

An organization-level quarantine list includes only the Agents associated with the selected organization.

The Quarantine list page appears. By default, the list uses the Awaiting Action filter, showing only those Agents that require approval. You can apply different filters to display All Items, and Approved or Blocked Agents. When you display the Approval Status column you can see which agents are Approved, Blocked, and Awaiting Action.
2.
Review the items in the list and approve any Agents, as required.
To approve one or more Agents, select them in the list, and click Choose Action > Approve. You can also block or delete Agents, as required. Blocking a quarantined agent only removes it from the Awaiting Action view on the Quarantine list page. You can block an agent that you do not want to consider approving, in general. To remove a blocked agent from all views, you may want to delete it. A blocked agent reappears on the Awaiting Action view if it attempts a re-connection. For example, if you see a suspicious host name coming from an external agent, you can either block or delete that agent. Blocked status is intended to be a permanent list of blocked devices that stay hidden from Awaiting Action view, that are not intended to be approved at any point.
3.
To find out more about a quarantined Agent:
a.
Click the Agent's name in the list.
b.
On the Quarantine Detail page that appears, review the Agent's details.
This page shows the details about the selected KACE Agent, such as the name of the device on which the Agent is installed, the device's MAC address, and so on. If the Agent used a token to connect to the appliance, the token name appears on the page. This page also allows you to approve, block, or delete Agents.
c.
When done, click Cancel.
4.
System-level Agents only. If you want to associate a System-level Agent with a specific organization, select it in the list and click Choose Action > Assign to Organization > <organization name>
The selected Agent record now appears in the organization-level Quarantine list page, allowing the organization's administrator to review and register this Agent, as applicable. If an Agent is approved without being assigned to an organization, Organization filters are used to assign the agent to an organization after its first inventory.
