Enable Reflection Gateway Connections in the Reflection Secure Shell Proxy

To enable Reflection Gateway Transfer Site transfers

1. Log in as an administrator to the Windows system on which you installed the Reflection Gateway Proxy. Use the Windows Start menu to launch the Reflection Secure Shell Proxy console.

2. On the Reflection Gateway Users pane, enable Allow access to Reflection Gateway users.

3. For Gateway Administrator host, enter the name or IP address of the computer running the Reflection Gateway Administrator. (If you installed all Reflection Gateway services on the same computer, you can leave the default value, localhost.) Leave the default port value (9190). Reflection Gateway Administrator is configured to listen on this port by default.

4. (Optional) change the value for Reflection Gateway user access account from the default (Service account) to an actual User account on the system. The following factors may enter into this decision:

   • When Service account is selected, Reflection Gateway users run using the same privileges as the Reflection Secure Shell Proxy service (the Local System account). You may want to specify an alternate user account with more limited privileges.

   • Running as the service account is limited by the operating system to 110 simultaneous client connections. Configuring a User account does not have this limitation.

5. Click Activate and verify. This saves your settings and triggers actions that ensure that the Reflection Gateway Proxy services can establish a secure connection with the Gateway Administrator.

   • You will be prompted to accept the certificate presented by the Gateway Administrator server. Click Yes to establish the trust relationship.

   • When the configuration update is complete, click Close to close the Web service connection dialog box.

   • Click Yes when prompted to restart the Reflection Transfer Server service. This step is required.
