An administrator attempts to activate the Deep Security Agent installed on a server by typing the following command in the Command Prompt on the Deep Security Agent computer:

dsa_control -a dsm://server1.acme.com:4120

The Agent does not activate as expected. What is a valid reason for this issue?

AThe incorrect port was used. The correct command would be: dsa_control -a dsm://server1.acme.com:4118

BDeep Security Agents can not be activated through the Command Prompt. They must be activated through the Deep Security Manager Web console or through a deployment script.

CThe command listed can only executed from the Command Prompt on the Deep Security Manager computer.

D'Allow Agent-Initiated Activation' is currently not enabled in Deep Security Manager.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

dsa_control -a dsm://<host or IP>:/

For the command-line Agent activation option to work, Deep Security Manager must be set to ac-cept Agent-Initiated Activations (AIA) commands. This method is particularly useful when using scripts or in Cloud environments like Amazon Web Services where Deep Security Manager can not typically connect to Deep Security Agents to activate them, but the Agents can connect to Deep Security Manager.

Wait, the correct port is 4118? That's like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key - totally useless!

I think 'Allow Agent-Initiated Activation' needs to be enabled in Deep Security Manager.
