secure_agents

Secures Agents by providing a list of Agent names, a group name, and input file. If a group name is provided, Enterprise Manager resolves this to a list of Agents that monitor targets in this group. You can also provide an Agent list with an input file to this EM CLI command. For all of these options, you must provide either a user name or password, or the user must have been configured with preferred credentials on Agent targets. This verb submits a job with the list of Agents and the credentials provided as input, and outputs the Job Name and Job ID that you can use to track the status of the job.

This verb also calculates the list of Agents to resecure by filtering out invalid Agents, Agents that are not secure, Agents that are down, and Agents that already have an active job execution. This verb also filters out Agents that are already secured by the correct CA, but you can disable this particular filter by using the -disable_ca_check option .
