Script Client Configuration

The script client requires connection parameters similar to a browser in order to negotiate a route through your organisation infrastructure to reach DMZTransfer. The script client, like the Browser interface, also requires username and password details to authenticate with DMZTransfer and find the correct jobs to transfer.

When the script client is deployed, it does not have enough information to connect to DMZTransfer. You must configure the script client before you can transfer any files. You should also reconfigure the client after any significant change in the script clients route out of the organisation. This includes:

• Addition or removal of a proxy in your organisation
• Change of proxy username/passwords
• Change of script-client username
• Changing the IPAddress of the machine running the script client

To Configure the script client

• Run the script client with the configure command argument. All script client commands must be run from the DMZScript directory
  startDMZ -cconfig
  
  
• This will prompt for the set up parameters necessary to run:
  
  
  • DMZTransfer account
    enter the user name assigned to you to access DMZTransfer
    
    
  • DMZTransfer account password
    enter the user password assigned to you to access DMZTransfer
    
    
  • Use a proxy server
    Select this if the script client machine requires access to a proxy to reach DMZTransfer
    
    

Proxy Server Parameters

• Microsoft Network
  Answer yes if your organisation has a Microsoft Proxy server or one that performs NTLM authentication. i.e. you must supply your domain name as well as your username when logging in.
  
  
• Name of the NTLM domain
  The name of the domain. i.e. if you normally log in as headoffice/jsmith, then the domain name would be headoffice
  
  
• Name or address of the proxy server
  
  
• Proxy user account
  the user name to access the proxy. Do not include the domain name in the user name. i.e. if you normally log in as headoffice/jsmith, then only enter jsmith in this field.
  
  
• Proxy password
  the user password to access the proxy

Once configured, you have the opportunity to test the configuration. This is recommended as it verifies that a valid HTTPS connection can be made from your organistaion to the DMZTransfer server.
