System Testing Agent Access Files
The .atsagtd (UNIX) or atsagtd.ini (Windows) agent access file is an editable
configuration file that secures access to System Testing Agents and contains a list of
machines and users authorized to execute agents on that machine, with the following
syntax:
<Test RealTime hostname> <username>
A plus sign + can be used as a wildcard to provide access to all users or all
workstations.
The minus sign - suppresses access to a particular user.
You can add comments to the agent access file by starting a line with the # character:
Example
# This is a sample .atsagtd or atsagtd.ini file.
# The following line allows access from user jdoe on a machine
named workstation
workstation jdoe

# The following line allows access from all users of workstation
workstation +

# The following allows access from jdoe on any host
+ jdoe

# The following allows access to all users except anonymous from
the machine workstation
