Using DC Agent for Transparent User Identification > Custom configuration for a DC Agent instance > DC Agent initialization parameters
|
DC Agent automatically detects new domains or domain controllers added to the network. By default, detected domain names are recorded to the dc_config.txt file at startup, and every 24 hours thereafter.
|
Used to prevent a problem involving Windows 2000 services that use a machine name followed by a dollar sign (wkstn$) as a user name when contacting the domain controller. DC Agent interprets the service as a new user to whom no policy has been assigned.
When this parameter is set to True, if DC Agent detects a user$ entry in its map, it compares the name to the source machine's name. If these match, DC Agent ignores the logon session entirely, because it knows the logon did not originate from an actual user.
When the parameter is set to False, if DC Agent detects a user$ entry in its map, the agent attempts to replace it with an actual user name from the source machine. If DC Agent does not obtain an actual user name, it records the user$ entry in its map.
|
Determines how often DC Agent checks the machine name/IP address pairs in its cache for entries older than the IPCleanLifetime period. Entries older than this time period are removed from the cache.
|
If you use an ignore.txt file to configure DC Agent to ignore particular users or client machines, this parameter sets an upper limit on the number of entries in the file.
|
Determines how often DC Agent queries the domain controllers specified in its dc_config.txt file.
|
Set this parameter to True to cause DC Agent to use only NetBIOS to identify domain controllers.
|
To close the ports required for User Service to facilitate communications between DC Agent and domain controllers, set this value to False. In this case, DC Agent uses Windows networking calls for communications instead.
|
When this parameter is set to False, DC Agent may not update its user map right away if a user account is moved from one domain to another.
