Bigfix explorer config

After installing the v11.0.3 BigFix Explorer on Windows, it seems to route requests to: https://x123:52315/data/sequence (x123 being the masthead URL). In my case, masthead URL points to a fake root and not the BES Root server.

Is there a BES Client setting on the Explorer I can set to tell it to route call to a my root FQDN?

In our internal docs I don’t see any setting to override the masthead URL on the Explorer computer.

Usually if I deploy a Fake-Root (and I don’t, generally, since we added the last-fallback-relay option), I’d use the HOSTS file to override the fake-root with the real root server’s address on WebUI, Web Reports, Consoles, and Top-Level Relays. As a workaround you could probably do the same on your Explorer host.

We still use fake root because it obfuscates the Root FQDN from the masthead shared to all clients.
Yes, I can use a host file for now.
