Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes detecting, in a connection agent, a problem connecting to a network; receiving, in the connection agent, replacement configuration options, wherein the replacement configuration options are for updating a configuration profile for the connection agent; wherein the configuration profile for the connection agent and the replacement configuration options define parameter values used in connecting to a network; updating the configuration profile for the connection agent based on the replacement configuration options; and determining, using testing components in the connection agent, test results that indicate the replacement configuration options do not solve the problem connecting to the network.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- detecting, in a connection agent, a problem connecting to a network;
- receiving, in the connection agent, replacement configuration options, wherein the replacement configuration options are for updating a configuration profile for the connection agent;
- wherein the configuration profile for the connection agent and the replacement configuration options define parameter values used in connecting to a network;
- updating the configuration profile for the connection agent based on the replacement configuration options;
- and
- determining, using testing components in the connection agent, test results that indicate the replacement configuration options do not solve the problem connecting to the network.
A system comprising:
- a provisioning service configured to
- receive input indicating selected configuration options for a connection agent, wherein the configuration options define parameter values for use in connecting to a network;
- transmit the configuration options to the connection agent;
- the connection agent including
- a configuration manager configured to receive the configuration options;
- a connection unit configured to connect to the network based on the configuration options;
- a test manager configured to cause execution of test scripts that perform tests, wherein the tests verify proper operation of the connection agent under the configuration options, wherein the connection agent is also configured to transmit a notification to the provisioning service about the verification of proper operation;
- and
- a log manager configured to log information associated with the tests.
