Agent URI prefix is a configurable subset of Agent Deployment URI. It is important to set a valid URL for this property. Its value should be http://host.domain:port/web-proxy-deployment-uri where host, domain and port are FQDN and port number of the Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 instance where the agent is installed and web-proxy-deployment-uri is the URI where the Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 instance will look for web-proxy related HTML pages.
