Start a server initiated remote control session
To start a remote control session initiated from the IBM® BigFix® Remote Control server UI, the
server component must be installed and running. For more information about creating and running
server installation configurations tasks, see Creating IBM BigFix Remote Control server installation tasks.
Note: The server can be installed also by
using the installation files. For more information, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Installation
Guide.
After the
server component is installed, use the IBM BigFix Remote Control Controller
User's Guide for details about
how to access and log on to the server UI. Remote control sessions that are initiated from the
IBM BigFix Remote Control server
require permissions links to be set up. The links are made between the groups that the controller
user and the target are members of. These permissions links determine what policies are effective
for the session. For information about creating user and target groups, creating permissions links,
and how policies are resolved for a remote control session, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Administrator's
Guide. After you install the server and create the relevant groups and permissions links, you can start a remote control session by using the IBM BigFix Remote Control server UI. For more information, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Controller User's Guide.
