Overview of the Agent for TIBCO Security Server

TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator is shipped with an agent for the TIBCO Security Server. The TIBCO Enterprise Administrator provides a centralized administrative interface to manage and monitor multiple TIBCO products deployed in an enterprise. A product is exposed to TIBCO Enterprise Administrator with the help of an agent. TIBCO Enterprise Administrator agent for TIBCO Security Server, henceforth called the TEA agent in the rest of the document, can be used to administer, manage, and monitor TIBCO Security Server.

The TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server uses the agent to communicate with TIBCO Security Server. In some cases, you need to explicitly register the agent, but this agent autoregisters itself with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator. On registration, the agent exposes the artifacts of TIBCO Security Server to TIBCO Enterprise Administrator. In case, you need to re-register the agent, you can do so by going through the instructions in Registering the TEA Agent for TIBCO Security Server. In addition, you can also reconnect an agent or unregister an agent. For additional details about using TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, see TIBCO Enterprise Administrator User Guide.
