Configuring Components

Running the Security Proxy

After you have created a server.properties file for the proxy server computer, follow these steps to run the security proxy server and to enable encrypted connections from Reflection terminal sessions.

Starting the Security Proxy Server

Windows

If you use the automatic installation process on computers running Windows NT and above, you can choose to install the servlet runner as an NT service, in which case the servlet runner starts automatically. You can start or stop the service by going to Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, and selecting Reflection Security Proxy.

If you use the automatic installation process but do not choose to install the security proxy server as an NT service, follow these steps to run the security proxy server:

1. Go to Start > Programs > Attachmate Reflection Administrator and click Start Security Proxy.
   
   
2. Enter the path to the server.properties file or accept the default. If you installed in the default folder in Windows, for example, the default path is:
   
   c:\Program  Files\ReflectionServer\securityproxy\conf\server.properties
   
   
3. Click Next. A Command Prompt window opens, and the message Proxy Server Initialized appears.

If you installed the security proxy server using the archive file and completed the initial configuration, from a command window run SecurityProxy.bat.

1. In a Command Prompt window, navigate to [installation path]\securityproxy\bin\.
   
   
2. Enter SecurityProxy.bat ..\conf\server.properties.
   
   
3. The message Proxy Server Initialized appears.
   
   

UNIX or Linux Platforms

To run the SecurityProxy.sh file located in the [installation path]/securityproxy/bin/ directory, from a terminal window enter:

    ./SecurityProxy.sh start

Automatically Starting and Stopping the Security Proxy on UNIX or Linux

Follow these steps to start or stop the proxy at system Startup or Shutdown.

1. In a text editor, open SecurityProxy.sh, a shell script located in this folder:
   
        [installation path]/securityproxy/bin/
   
   
2. Edit the script to set the required variables described in the file:
   
        WRQ_PROXY_HOME (must be an absolute path)
     JAVA_HOME
   
   
3. Save the revised SecurityProxy.sh and copy it to
   
        /etc/rc.d/init.d
   
   
4. Modify the following steps according to your operating system.
   
   
   • On Sun OS 5.6 for instance, make a link to the copy from the /etc/rc3.d directory with a name S##SecurityProxy.sh, where ## is a unique number that follows a startup order of the scripts in the /etc/rc3.d folder.
     
     
   • Make another symbolic link to the copy of this file from the /etc/rc2.d directory. The name of the link should be K##SecurityProxy.sh, where ## is a unique number that reflects a shutdown order of the scripts in the /etc/rc2.d directory.
     
     

As a result, when the UNIX or Linux system is started or shut down, the proxy server automatically starts or stops.
