Network Prerequisites
An agent may show offline when it is unable to communicate with the HAES management console as shown below image. The instructions mentioned below can help troubleshoot and fix this issue.

  • Make sure that the required firewall rules are enabled to allow necessary connections from the agent to the HAES management console.

Table 1 Ports Detail

Ports Description Source Destination

Agent

| D-Cloud (cloud-

api.deepinstinctweb.com)

443

4339

| D-Client access to download the prediction model, policy, and send events.

  • At installation, the agent set the port to 443, if available. If not, the port is set to 4339.
  • When port 443 is used, the connectivity needs to open to both the console FQDN, and to “apiv2-”.
  • Once the port is set during installation, the D-Clients continue to use this port, including upgrades.

Troubleshooting reference

Error 1 – Waiting to Validate token
After installation, if the agent status is offline and shows an error message “waiting to validate token”, follow the below steps:

  • Make sure that the required network ports are allowed from the agent to the management console.
  • Open command prompt and run be command “ /m /token
    • This will try to reinitiate the communication before the timeout occurs.
    • Verify if the agent starts communication and shows online.

Error 2 – Agent offline
There are some certificates required for the agent to start communicating with the console. These certificates any-how are embedded into Windows security updates. The issue may occur where the endpoints are not patched for long and the certificates are missing.
Follow the below procedure to install the certificates

  • Copy the roots.sst file and agent installer file (same version as installed on the endpoint) files into C:\

roots.sst

  • Open powershell on the endpoint as admin and run below commands:
    • Cd c:\
    • $sstStore = (Get-ChildItem -Path C:\roots.sst)
    • $sstStore | Import-Certificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
  • Run “ /m /token
  • The agent should start communicating and shows “Online” state and “Protection enabled.”
    If doesn’t work then uninstall the agent with “ /x “, this will need a  restart of the endpoint.
    Re-install the HAES agent.
