team-city-agent-auto-auth

Team City server plugin to automatically authorize agents on register

For organizations that heavily automate their build agent infrastructure, the manual step of authorizing and unauthorizing agents can become an issue. For example, agents setup in an AWS Auto Scaling Group could appear and disappear multiple times a day.

"Agent Auto Authorize" listens for agent registrations and automatically authorizes them. Additionally, if the auto_deregister flag is set, the agent will be de-authorised on disconnection.

NOTE: Because this plugin circumvents the manual agent authorization step which is guarded by TeamCity authentication, only use this if your TeamCity server is inaccessible to the public Internet.
