Configure the gateway support
After you install the gateway component is installed it can be configured by using the gateway configuration file, trc_gateway.properties, which is in a Java™ properties file format. This file is in the following directory, depending on the version of Windows operating system that is installed.
- Windows® systems
- \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Tivoli\Remote
Control\Gateway.
\ProgramData\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Gateway.
- Linux® systems
- /etc
Define the connections that are required in the gateway configuration
file. The gateway configuration file has a similar format to a Java™ properties file.
- The gateway supports multiple instances of each connection type
- The configuration directives for each connection have a user-defined prefix.
Depending on the setup of your environment, you can define four types of connections.
- Inbound connections
- Gateway connections
- Endpoint connections
- Tunnel connections
