I tried going simple and tested AR on the server first. That worked. I then tried AR on the local agent (as well as a defined-agent) and that's where it failed. I turned debug on in internal_options.conf but couldn't find anything useful. Is there any other debugging I can turn on? I'll give it a shot again today to see if anything comes of it.
