Setting up Agents Using the Manual Process

Typically, you add agents to a CMS instance by manually creating a
privileged-user entry for the agent in the corresponding subsystem's user and
group database and then add the agent's certificate to the database.
Setting up an agent involves the following steps:
• Step 1. Find the Required Information
• Step 2. Add the Information to the Internal Database
• Step 3. Store the Agent's SSL Client Certificate in the Internal Database
• Step 4. Check the Certificate Database for the CA Certificate
