Agent host not found n.n.n.n
- Navigate to navigate to Access > Authentication Agents > Add New.
- Recreate the agent record in the Security Console using the IP address noted in Step 9 above.
- On the Apache web server, edit the sdopts.rec file to add the CLIENT_IP value in the format below. Replace the n.n.n.n value with the IP address in Step 9:
CLIENT_IP=n.n.n.n
