Edit the trc_controller.cfg and controller.properties files
to create and configure controller properties. These properties are
used by the IBM® BigFix® Remote Control controller
component to provide extra function during a remote control session.
About this task
When the controller component is installed, a properties
file, trc_controller.cfg, is also installed when
you are using the peer to peer controller. For the controller that
is used for sessions that are started from the server, the controller.properties file
is available. Use these files to create and configure various properties
to provide more function during a remote control session. This section
provides the steps for configuring the properties for the peer to
peer controller. For more information about configuring the controller
properties for managed remote control sessions, see the section on
editing property files in the IBM BigFix Remote Control Administrator's
Guide.Note: You must have administrator authority on the system
that the controller component is installed on to be allowed to edit
the properties file.
To configure the controller properties,
complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Edit the trc_controller.cfg file.
- Windows® systems
- [controller install dir]\trc_controller.cfg
Where [controller
install dir] is the directory that the controller is installed
in.
- Linux® systems
- opt/ibm/trc/controller/trc_controller.cfg
- Add or configure the relevant property.
- Save the file.
Results
The new property values are in effect for any new peer to
peer sessions that the controller starts with a target.
