Configuring the 

Remote Job Adapter 

Overview

The Remote Job Adapter software is installed as part of a standard installation of CWA.

However, you must perform the following steps to license and configure the adapter before you can schedule and run 
Remote jobs:



 – License the Remote Job adapter. You cannot define a Remote connection until you have 

applied the Remote Job license from Cisco.



 – Define a Remote Job Authentication user to authorize a connection to be 

established to the Remote Job agent and permit requests to be made on behalf of the authenticated account.



 – Assign specific privileges for the user defined as the Connection user 

on the Target machine.



 – Configure the Windows Agent machine to be a 

Remote Job adapter proxy.



 – Define a Remote Job connection so the master can communicate with 

the Remote Job server.

See 

 for information about general and adapter-specific properties that can be set to 

control things like logging and connection properties. 

Licensing an Adapter

Each CWA Adapter must be separately licensed. You cannot use an Adapter until you apply the license file. If you 
purchase the Adapter after the original installation of CWA, you will receive a new license file authorizing the use of the 
Adapter. 

You might have a Demo license which is good for 30 days, or you might have a Permanent license. The procedures to 
install these license files are described below.
