Setting server connection parameters
Edit the trc_broker.properties file to set the parameters for the server that the broker authenticates with.
About this task
- ServerURL
- Determines the URL of the server that the broker authenticates
the session with. This parameter must be set to the base URL, for
example https://trcserver.example.com/trc. A
trailing / character is allowed. This parameter is a
required parameter. Note: The broker requires a connection to the remote control server to authenticate sessions and connection codes. As the broker is typically located outside of the intranet while the server is inside of it, this connection requires a proxy server or a chain of gateways. Use HTTPS and not HTTP if the connection from the broker to the server passes through an unsecure or untrusted network. Also, use HTTPS if the following properties are enabled in the trc.properties file, enforce.secure.endpoint.callhome, or enforce.secure.endpoint.upload. Otherwise, the target cannot send audit information or status updates to the server. For more information about the enforce.secure properties, see trc.properties.
- ProxyURL
- Add the URL of a proxy server or gateway if you are using one. This parameter is optional. For security purposes, the plain text userid:password combination in the URL is now automatically encrypted when the broker starts. For more information, see Automatic passphrase encryption.
