Enabling Secure Device Connections by Deploying Relay Server

John configures the Relay Server in Sybase Control Center to create two farms for a single development and test cluster: one for RBS client connections and one for MBS client connections. John sets up both farms now, even though RBS connections are initially tested.

  1. In the navigation pane of Sybase Control Center, click the development cluster name.
  2. Click the Relay Servers tab.
  3. Click New.
  4. Configure these general Relay Server properties:
    Property Value
    Host relay.acme.com
    HTTP port 80
    HTTPS port 443
    (Optional) URL suffix /ias_relay_server/server/rs_server.dll
  5. Click Next.
  6. Define the RBS farm:
    Property Value
    Farm ID SUPRBSFarm
    Type Replication
  7. Click the + button.
  8. In the bottom of the Relay Server Configuration window, assign the RBS farm to a node so that devices with RBS requests can connect to the Relay Server.
    1. Configure these properties:
      • Node ID – PrimarySUPDev
      • Token – abcd
    2. Click the + button.
  9. Click Finish.
  10. Generate the configuration to transfer the properties from the cluster database to the Relay Server host machine.
    1. Select the created Relay Server configuration and click Generate.
    2. Choose Relay server configuration file and output the whole file by selecting Whole relay server.
    3. Click Next.
    4. Click Finish and transfer the generated file to the corresponding Relay Server host computer. Update the existing rs.config file, and run rshost.exeto update the Relay Server configuration.
