3.3 Walkthrough: Creating a Resource Account

After being installed on a computing node, having its credentials defined, and associating itself with
the computing node, the Orchestrate Agent begins broadcasting the availability of its host as a
potential computing resource. Before the Orchestrate Server can allow an agent to authenticate and
establish ongoing communication, you need to create a resource account for the agent on the
Orchestrate Server. When this account is created or "registered," the agent's host node can be
discovered and recognized as a computing resource that can perform the jobs assigned to it.
It is also possible to create a resource account for an agent before that agent is actually installed on a
computing node.You can also create a resource account on the Orchestrate Server and have it
waiting in an offline state in anticipation of agent installation and login.
This section includes the information you need to create a resource account on the Orchestrate
Server:
