Setting Relay Server General Properties

Set basic connection properties for the Relay Server.

Prerequisites

Launch the Relay Server configuration wizard.

Task

Specify these property values:
- Host – for single Relay Server environments the host name of the Relay Server. Or, in the case of a Relay Server farm environments, the host name of the load balancer.
- Http port – the Relay Server HTTP port.
- Https port – the Relay Server HTTPS port.
  Note: If Relay Server uses HTTPS and certificates, clients other than replication based synchronization may not be able to connect: messaging applications only support HTTP, and hybrid workflow container applications for iOS support HTTPS — but not certificates.
- URL suffix – the URL suffix used by the Outbound Enabler to connect to a Relay Server. The prefix you set depends on whether Relay Server is installed on IIS or Apache hosts. For IIS, you would use /ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll. For Apache you would use /cli/iasrelayserver.
  Note: For IIS, the value identifies the relative path for rs_client.dll. Therefore, if your IIS directory structure is different, modify this value accordingly.
  
  Note: The value used in the client application connection for the URL prefix must match what the administrator configures in the URL suffix. Otherwise the connection fails. Test these value by using the Diagnostic Tool command line utility. See Diagnostic Tool Command Line Utility (diagtool.exe) Reference in System Administration.
- (Optional) Description – a user-definable description of the Relay Server.
Add or remove HTTP credentials as required:
1. Check Configure relay server HTTP credentials.
2. To add new credentials, specify these property values and click +:
  - User name – user name for RSOE authentication on the Web server (Relay Server host).
  - Password – password for RSOE authentication on the Web server.
3. To remove credentials from the list, select the corresponding user name, then click X.
