Step 1 - Agent Console FQDN

Agent Name: A agent name is only used to describe the agent. If you are going to install multiple agents, make sure that you name each of the agent with a distinctive and easy to identify name.
Click "Next" to continue
Step 4 - Service Provider Setup
For security, the agent console will require user authentication, therefore it needs to be registered with your DualShield SSO as a service provider.
Please note, if you are installing multiple logon agents, then you need to make sure that every agent has its own service provider. In other words, a service provider cannot be shared by multiple agents.
If this is the very first time that you're setting up this agent, click the "Create New Service Provider" button to create a new service provider for this agent.
A service provider needs to be associated with an application in your DualShield server.
Please note, in contrary to that a service provider should not be shared by multiple agents, an application can be shared and generally should be shared by all logon agents.
If this is the very first time that you're setting up an agent, select the existing "Management Console" application from the application list. Do not create a new application.
Now, click the "Create" button to create a new service provider for this agent
Click "Next" to continue
Step 5 - Completion
The agent has now been successfully registered.
Click "Finish" to continue. The agent admin console will be launched
Step 6 - Set up Agent Application
Sign in to the admin console
Click "Agent" in the main menu on the top
In the Computer Logon section, from the application list, select the application that you have set up earlier for computer logon, e.g. Computer Logon
Click the "Save" button in the Computer Logon section.
You have now completed the agent registration and application setup.
