Relates To

• Virtual Machine

Cause

• Agent Controller installed with option AEMBIT_MANAGED_TLS_HOSTNAME. This enables TLS encryption between Agent Proxy and Agent Controller
• During Agent Proxy installation, HTTP port (5000 by default) was specified
  • E.g.

    • sudo AEMBIT_AGENT_CONTROLLER=http://<controller_endpoint>:5000 AEMBIT_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./install

Solution

Agent Proxy installation should leverage port 5443 for TLS Encryption. Validate the port expected to communicate on is for TLS encryption.

sudo AEMBIT_AGENT_CONTROLLER=http://<controller_endpoint>:5443 AEMBIT_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./install
