Linux Agent registration options

For the -web-registration=FILE command, you can create a separate file to supply the following values as responses:

wccAddress=ADDRESS_OF_AMP_SERVER

wccPort=PORT_OF_AMP_SERVER # Defaults to 8086

wccLogin=PortalUserName

wccPassword=PortalPassword

Use the values provided by your administrator in these lines for address, port, and login name/password.

Note: This command only applies during installation. It works with the install.sh script, but not the register script.
