Configuring Screens Replication Agents

This following page describes how to configure Screens Replication Agents.

Objective

The Screens Replication Agent is responsible for bringing commands data such as, user, password, rebootSchedule, maxNumberOfLogFilesToKeep, and many more such values from publish to author. It is essential to configure this so that the author can show the device ping.

You must complete both the sections to complete the configuration for Screens Replication Agent:

1. Enabling Users and Updating the Password
2. Updating Settings for Screens Replication Agent

Enabling Users and Updating the Password

Follow the steps below to enable users and update the password for screens-receiver-user:

1. Navigate to your AEM Author instance.

2. Click on tools --> Security --> Users.

   

3. Search for screens-receiver-user.

4. Select the screens-receiver-user and click on Enable from the action bar.

   

5. Click on OK to confirm.

   

   Once you have enabled the user, you will see the screens-receiver-user as Enabled under the Status field.

7. Click on Change Password under Account settings from the Details tab, as shown in the figure below.
