Use this task to view the systems whose agents use a specific ASSC key pair in the Agent-server

key pair after making a different key pair the master. Do not delete a key pair until you know
that no agents are still using it.

Make the Legacy key pair the master only if you don't have any agents 3.6 or later in your
environment. Later versions cannot use the legacy key pair.

using the new master key pair. Agents begin using the new key pair after the next update
task for the agent completes. At any time, you can see which agents are using any of the
ASSC key pairs in the list.
