Configuring Policy Server Connection with Token

Sensor Installation Token

Configure the following environment to ensure that only authorized sensors can connect to the Policy Server.

Go to Preferences in the top panel.
In the left General menu, select Node.
In the Sensor Token tab, change Enable Installation Token to ON.
Click the Update button.

Important

The default value of Enable Installation Token depends on the product type.

Cloud: default is ON
On-premises: default is OFF

This means the feature is already enabled on cloud products without any configuration change. If you do not enter the token during sensor installation in that state, the sensor installation itself completes but the sensor does not connect to the Policy Server. Be sure to enter the token during initial installation.
