Creating a Quick Configuration

Create a Relay Server configuration primarily with system defaults, and create Outbound Enabler (OE) processes for each Unwired Server.

  1. In the navigation pane, click the Unwired Server cluster name.
  2. In the administration pane, click the Relay Servers tab.
  3. Click Quick Configure.
  4. 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.
    • 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.
    • Replication or Messaging farm token – the security token used by the Outbound Enabler to authenticate its connection with the Relay Server. Assign a token string (up to 2048 characters); this same token can be shared by replication or messaging farms. The replication and messaging farm token values can be the same.
    • (Optional) Description – a user-definable description of the Relay Server.
  5. (Optional) Check Advanced settings and specify these property values:
    • Http user name – user name for OE authentication on the Web server (Relay Server host).
    • Http password – password for OE authentication on the Web server.
  6. (Optional)For Online Data Proxy deployments, configure connection values to required Internet proxy servers:
    • Proxy server host – host name of the Internet proxy server.
    • Proxy server port – connection port on the Internet proxy server.
    • Http proxy user – user name for OE authentication on the Internet proxy server.
    • Http proxy password – password for OE authentication on the Internet proxy server.
  7. Click OK to generate a Relay Server configuration file, and the OE processes for each Unwired Server.

Properties in the [backend_farm] and [backend_server] sections are populated automatically, based on the Unwired Server's cluster name and host name.

Six OE instances (three each for messaging and replication ports) are created on each Unwired Server host, but they are not started.

Review the values in the Relay Server configuration file, and edit if necessary.
