15.8.1 User Agents and Service Agents
The slpuasa daemon provides the functionality for both the User Agent and the Service Agent the
deamon will read the /etc/slpuasa.conf file on start-up and perform an Active-Discovery of the DA
on the network if the isMulticastOnly option is disabled or commented out (the default value is 0).
Otherwise, the deamon will use the multicast option.
The slpuasa.conf file contains a list of configuration parameters for configuring the SLP User Agent
- Service Agent daemon. The slpuasa daemon reads this file when it is started. If any change is made
to the slpuasa.conf file, the daemon needs to be restarted for the changes to be reflected.
Each parameter in the slpuasa.conf file is in a single line in the form, as follows:
parameter=value
The parameters are described in Table 86.
