Autonomous mode
In autonomous mode, the agent operates independently of AM, without needing to contact an AM instance. Agents allow access to resources as defined in not-enforced lists; otherwise, they deny access.
Agents evaluate not-enforced rules using the following features:
-
URLs, IP addresses, IP address ranges, and compound rules.
-
Rules applied to specific HTTP methods.
-
Inverted not-enforced rules, by using properties.
-
Inverted not-enforced rules, by using inline logical operators.
-
Rules that use regular expressions.
-
Rules applied in the presence of named cookies with specified values.
Because the agent does not attempt to contact AM, the following functionality is not available in autonomous mode:
-
Notifications
-
Remote auditing
-
Profile attributes
-
Session attributes
-
Response attributes
-
Continuous security
To enable autonomous mode, in the bootstrap properties file,
AgentBootstrap.properties, set
Autonomous mode to
true, and restart the Java container where the agent is installed.
