Hi all
So question. I'm running only Primary for a while and i have ton of agents in it. If i now add replica do i need to generate new sdconf.rec and update all the Agents?
Regards

If the agents are using the agent code correctly, they will automatically figure it out
after a few authentications,,, when the primary authenticates them it sends a list of new replicas.
However, doing an automatic rebalance and distributing new sdconf.rec guarantees immediate
knowledge of the landscape. But 'normal securid agents' automatically learn about new replicas.
You can test this with a windows agent test function, and it shows it's server list, you see just the primary
(or primary and existing replicas) then add a replica, and do a few auths, and refresh the list, the new replica
will show up eventually.
Edward thanks again for great answer. I'll just leave agents alone and let them learn about replica automatically
