Using the encUtilCmd Utility

The encUtilCmd utility is a program designed to implement various ENC Gateway utility functions. However, this section deals only with one use case of encUtilCmd.

For the detailed description of the encUtilCmd command and all its options, see the EncUtilCmd Command Reference which you can find in the CA Bookshelf under the Reference Guides category.

The encUtilCmd utility in addition to other functionality will handle the problem of configuring ENC Gateway security.

This use case considers a problem that appears after the installation of a scalability server, which will be in the locked down state. The domain manager is unable to make a direct connection to the scalability server because there is a firewall in the way. So this method cannot be used to distribute the policy to the scalability server. The domain manager cannot use the ENC Gateway to contact the scalability server because the scalability server will reject all connection attempts. It is this policy that defines who can connect to the scalability server.

To solve this problem, you can define some rules in a text file and import this file on the ENC Gateway Server using the encUtilCmd command.
