A host is created for each machine you want to manage with Privileged User Manager. You need to create the host before you can register the agents that you install on the machines. If you have created a text file that lists the domains that you have created and the hosts that you want in each domain, you can cut and paste from the text file to add the hosts to the domains.
Click
on the home page of the console.Select the domain for the new host.
Click
from the task pane.In the text box, specify the agent names for the hosts.
You can type the names one at a time, using one name per line, or you can paste a list of names. When you add a host to the Framework Manager, the name does not need to relate to the existing DNS name used to locate the host on your network.
Click
.A list of agents names is displayed.
Click
.The status of the host is unregistered until the agent is installed and registered on the host machine. For instructions on this process, see Installing and Registering a Framework Agent

Agent name: Specify a display name for this agent.
The agent name does not need to relate to the existing DNS name used to locate the host on your network.
Description: Add a description. This description is displayed next to the agent name in the hierarchical view.
Host name: Specify the DNS name used to locate the host on your network or the IP address of the host.
Port: Displays the port that was specified when the agent was registered.
Modify the encryption options. When these settings are modified for an individual host, the host settings overwrite the settings specified for the domain.
Key configuration: Select this option to enable configuration of the encryption key.
Host Key rollover (days): Specify how many days the host key can be used before generating a new key.
DB Key rollover (days): Specify how many days the database key can be used before generating a new key.
Encrypt: Select the databases you want to encrypt.
Use care in selecting the databases you enable for encryption. Encrypting the data can affect performance. Novell recommends the following:
auth.db because it contain usernames
registry.db because it contains the hostnames.
cmdctrl.db because it contains command control rules with usernames and hostnames.
For a brief description of databases, see Section 3.2.7, Privileged User Manager Databases.
The encryption of auditing data should be enabled from the Reporting console. See Section 6.1, Audit Settings.
