The Relay Server plug-in for Sybase Central provides an easy way to work with the Relay Server. Use the Relay Server plug-in to do the following:
Create, import, and deploy Relay Server configuration files.
View Relay Server configuration file properties.
Add Relay Servers, Relay Server farms, back-end servers and back-end server farms.
View and edit Relay Servers, Relay Server farms, back-end servers and back-end server farms.
You can use Sybase Central to work with Relay Server configuration files. From Sybase Central you can:
Create a Relay Server configuration file.
Open a Relay Server configuration file.
Import a Relay Server configuration file.
Deploy a Relay Server configuration file.
In the Folders view of Sybase Central, right-click Relay Server 12 and click New » Configuration File.
Browse to the directory where you want the configuration file saved on the computer running Sybase Central. This is not the same as the deployment location.
In the File Name field, type the name of the configuration file. Normally this would be rs.config.
Ensure the .config extension is selected in the Save As Type field.
Click Save. A Relay Server farm is automatically created, to which you can add the necessary Relay Servers and back-end servers.
In the Folders view of Sybase Central, right-click Relay Server 12 and click Open Configuration File.
Browse to the directory where the configuration file is located, click the file and click Open.
In the Folders view of Sybase Central, right-click Relay Server 12 and click Import Configuration File.
Enter the URL for the existing Relay Server.
If the Relay Server requires authentication, enter the User Name and Password and click OK.
If the Relay Server requires HTTPS communication, the root certificate for the server needs to be stored in the Java Key and Certificate Management Utility. This can be accomplished using the Java Keytool utility. Sybase Central accesses the Java Key and Certificate Management Utility when the root certificate is required for communication.
In the Folders view, right-click the Relay Server configuration file you want to deploy and click Deploy.
Enter the URL for the Relay Server.
If the Relay Server requires authentication, enter the User Name and Password and click OK.
If the Relay Server requires HTTPS communication, the root certificate for the server needs to be stored in the Java Key and Certificate Management Utility. This can be accomplished using the Java Keytool utility. Sybase Central accesses the Java Key and Certificate Management Utility when the root certificate is required for communication.
The Server List page shows existing Relay Servers. To deploy the configuration file to one or more of the Relay Servers, select the server(s) from the list and click Add.
To remove a Relay Server from the list, select the server(s) and click Remove.
You can use Sybase Central to manage Relay Servers and Relay Server farms. From Sybase Central you can:
Add Relay Servers to a Relay Server farm.
View or edit Relay Server properties.
View or edit Relay Server farm properties.
In the Folders pane under the configuration file you want to work with, right-click the Relay Server farm you want to add Relay Servers to and click New » Relay Server.
Ensure Enable this Relay Server is selected.
Enter the path information for the Host you want to connect to. Click Ping if you want to check that a connection can be established to the specified host.
Select the communication protocol to use. This can be HTTP or HTTPS.
Specify the port(s) to be used for the selected protocol(s).
If desired, type a description of the Relay Server in the Description field.
Click Apply if you want to continue adding Relay Servers or OK to add the Relay Server and close the Create Relay Server window.
In the Folders pane, click the Relay Server farm that contains the Relay Server you want to work with. The Relay Servers in that farm are listed in the right pane.
Right-click the Relay Server you want to edit or view, and click Properties.
Make the necessary changes to the Relay Server properties and click Apply or OK.
In the Folders pane, right-click the Relay Server farm you want to work with and click Properties.
Make the necessary changes to the Relay Server farm properties and click Apply or OK.
You can use Sybase Central to manage back-end servers and back-end server farms. From Sybase Central you can:
Create a back-end server farm and add back-end servers to it.
View or edit back-end server properties.
View or edit back-end server farm properties.
In the left pane, right-click the Relay Server configuration file you want to work with, and click New » Backend Server Farm.
Ensure Enable This Backend Server Farm is selected.
Type the name associated with the new back-end server farm.
In Client Security choose a protocol for clients to use to connect to the back-end server farm.
In Backend Security choose a protocol for the Relay Server Outbound Enabler (rsoe) to use to connect to the back-end server farm.
For client-server affinity, choose the type of server you are using. For a MobiLink HTTP server with standalone Outbound Enabler or a MobiLink server with an embedded Outbound Enabler, click MobiLink. For a typical SQL Anywhere web service click SQL Anywhere. Advanced custom settings are available by clicking Custom as the server type. Once the Custom server type is selected, you have full control over the following affinity settings:
Check the Active Cookie option if you want the Relay Server to use a standard HTTP set-cookie command to retain client-server affinity.
Check the Active Header option if you want the Relay Server to use a proprietary header to retain client-server affinity.
Optionally, type a description of the back-end server farm in the Description field.
Click Apply if you want to continue adding back-end server farms or OK to add the back-end server farm and close the Create Backend Server Farm window.
In the Folders pane, right-click the back-end server farm you want to work with and click Properties.
Make the necessary changes to the back-end server farm properties and click Apply or OK.
In the Folders pane, right-click the back-end server farm you want to work with and click New » Backend Server.
Ensure Enable This Backend Server is selected.
Type the name associated with the new back-end server.
To enforce MAC address checking, click the Enforce MAC Address Checking checkbox.
If you selected MAC address checking, enter the RSOE MAC address using the IEEE 802 MAC-48 format. To get the MAC address
in the correct format, look in the Relay Server Outbound Enabler console or log. Multiple MAC addresses separated by an exclamation
mark (!) are reported by the Outbound Enabler if multiple adapters are currently active on your back-end server computer.
Select the most permanent one for the Relay Server to check against. The ipconfig /all
command on Windows provides a detailed listing of your network adapters together with associated MAC addresses.
Specify the security token that is used by the Relay Server to authenticate the back-end server connection. You can use a maximum of 2048 characters.
If desired, type a description of the back-end server in the Description field.
Click Apply if you want to continue adding back-end servers or OK to add the back-end server and close the Create Backend Server window.
In the Folders pane, click the back-end server farm that contains the back-end server you want to work with. The back-end servers in that farm are listed in the right pane.
Right-click the back-end server you want to edit or view, and click Properties.
Make the necessary changes to the back-end server properties and click Apply or OK.
