This section describes the process to change the Tripwire Log Center Manager to which an Axon Agent sends data. The process is different based on whether the Tripwire Log Center Manager uses a pre-shared key or PKI to secure communication with the Agent.

To assign a different Tripwire Log Center Manager to an Axon Agent:
| 1. | Complete the following steps on the new Tripwire Log Center Manager: |
| a. | If needed, upgrade to the latest version of Tripwire Log Center Manager. |
| b. | Configure the Bridge, as described in Step 1. Configuring the Bridge on a Tripwire Log Center Manager. |
| 2. | Complete the following steps on the Axon Agent host system: |
| a. | Shut down the Axon Agent service by entering one of the following commands: |
Linux: /sbin/service tw-axon-agent-tlc stop
Windows: net stop TripwireAxonAgentTLC
| b. | Delete the following certificates. |
Linux: /var/cache/tripwire-tlc/trust/keystore.p12
Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\Tripwire\agent-tlc\data\trust\keystore.p12
| c. | Open the Axon Agent configuration file (twagent.conf) in the appropriate directory. |
Linux: /etc/tripwire-tlc/
Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\Tripwire\agent-tlc\config\
| d. | In the configuration file, enter the IP address or host name of the new Tripwire Log Center Manager as the bridge.host option, and edit the other options, as needed (see Table 13). |
| e. | Start the Axon Agent service by entering one of the following commands at a command prompt. |
Linux: /sbin/service tw-axon-agent-tlc start
Windows: net start TripwireAxonAgentTLC
To assign a different Tripwire Log Center Manager to an Axon Agent that uses PKI:
