Custom Setting of BES client for main registration server

(imported topic written by russwm91)

Hello,

I have read the article on doing this creating a clientsettings.cfg My question can I add more then one Relay IP setting. The issue I don’t want to have to create different install packages with different clientsettings.cfg for install of BES. If I have a home users not on VPN or will never connected to corporate network I want them to use our DMZ relay. If I have a user that is VPN or connected to our network I want them to use the in house main BES server to register. If any users is in house gets the package that is set for primary DMZ server it will fail since our DNS is design not to allow users in our network to access the DMZ relay.

Thanks

Hey Russ,

You can use the clientsettings.cfg file to set the primary (internal relay) and secondary relay (dmz relay). The setting names are __RelayServer1 and __RelayServer2

Hello Ben,

Is that the same setting as this setting Relay IP=http://besrelayserver.domain.com:52311/bfmirror/downloads which sets the first server to register with when installing client and gather info. These devices will need to pick either the internal one or the DMZ one for first registration after that they can be set to auto select closest relay to them. Correct me if I’m wrong but the main server the client register with first after it gets all it gather info will recieve a list of all available relays that it can use.

If this is not the same setting can I use _relayserver1 and relayserver2 in my custom settings with out the IP=http://“servername” and it will work

Thanks

I believe that “RelayIP” and “__RelayServer1” are equivalent settings…

You are correct that once the agent can talk to the server or any relay, then it will get a list of all the relays.
