Stand-alone ENC Gateway Routers

Additional ENC Gateway Routers may also be deployed for resiliency or scalability. These ENC Gateway Routers can be installed elsewhere on the Internet or at branch offices.

The deployment steps for stand-alone ENC Gateway Routers are as follows:

• Install a DSM agent and an ENC Gateway Router and configure it to register with the ENC Gateway Server in the outsourcer office. The router can, of course, be configured to register with any other suitable ENC Gateway Server.
• At the domain manager, add suitable authorization rules to the policy intended for the stand-alone router computer. The rules must allow the router in the realm that it resides in to connect and register.
• Install a suitable certificate on the router computer.
• Startup Client Automation on the router computer. The router should then register with the ENC Gateway Server. Check the event log for this.

  Note: To see these events, you need to set the configuration parameter itrm/common/enc/audit/enabled to 1. In the configuration policy this will appear as "Enable All". This enables auditing of all ENC events. This lets you see more clearly the activity in the ENC system. By default, only those events in the "error" category are enabled. To restore auditing back to normal, set the configuration parameter to 2 ("Enable by Category").

• Once the ENC Client on the router computer registers, the Client Automation infrastructure will be able to accept the policy and therefore install authorization rules for the router. Once the router has picked up the authorization rules, it will be able to act as a router for other computers in the ENC Gateway network to connect.
