OpenEdge Management provides the auto-discovery feature for automatically discovering the remote Adminservers. You can enable this feature by configuring the auto-discovery properties on the systems hosting OpenEdge Management and the remote AdminServer.
Note: Configuring the auto-discovery properties enables UDP and multicast communications, which can increase security risks on your network. Progress recommends you configure these properties in a controlled environment and conduct a risk assessment before enabling this feature.
  1. Configure the auto-discovery property on the system hosting OpenEdge Management.
    1. Stop OpenEdge Management if it is running.
    2. Navigate to the catalina.properties file at the $oemgmt/conf location.
    3. Open the file and add the following auto-discovery property: 
      fathom.acceptDiscovery=true
      The following table describes the auto-discovery property:

  2. Configure the auto-discovery properties on the system hosting the remote AdminServer.
    1. Stop the remote AdminServer if it is running.
    2. Navigate to the management.properties file at the %DLC%\properties location.
    3. Open the file and change the default value of the allowDiscovery property from false to true.
