Downloading Secure Connector Configuration Files

How to download Secure Connector configuration files.

About this task

When you download a configuration file, the configuration file is saved to your default download directory. You can choose to save configuration files to different locations. Regardless of the number of configuration files you download, you can only use one configuration file during the Secure Connector installation process.

When you have selected a configuration file to set up a Secure Connector, that configuration file is used to configure any subsequent Secure Connector. It is not recommended to configure multiple Secure Connectors using the same configuration file. Instead, use a new configuration file or modify the existing configuration file. The Gateway, Listen to Port, and Transmit to Port parameters should have unique values for each Secure Connector.

The Secure Connector configuration file provides the Secure Connector installer with values for the following parameters:

  • Secure Connector Name - Specify the name of the Secure Connector you created.
  • Tenant ID - Use the default value provided in the file. It is used for internal communication.
  • Environment ID - Use the default value provided in the file. It is used for internal communication.
  • Gateway - Use the default value provided in the file. It is the data network IP on which the appliance is running.
  • Listen on Port - Only modify this parameter if another service is using the port that is specified or you want to run multiple Secure Connectors on the box.
  • Transmit on Port - Only modify this parameter if another service is using the port that is specified or you want to run multiple Secure Connectors on the box.
  • Secure Connector Auth Key - Specify the authentication key from the Secure Connector you created in the appliance.
  • Secure Connector Private Key - Specify the authentication private key, which you downloaded while creating the Secure Connector in the appliance.
Note: If you are using secure connector on appliance then:
  • Ensure that the appliance IP is reachable (you are able to ping) from the machine where the secure connector is installed.
  • The ports mentioned below are used internally by the appliance for communication with the Secure Connector. It is recommended that you do not use these ports on the appliance in any of your orchestration activities that involves HTTP Receive Request activity and Web Service activities.
