Basic Connect:Direct configuration worksheet

Edit online

Before you configure Secure Proxy for Connect:Direct® connections, gather the information about the basic Connect:Direct configuration worksheet. You use this information as you configure a basic Connect:Direct connection for Secure Proxy.

About this task

After you configure Connect:Direct connections, validate the configuration by initiating a Connect:Direct connection from the PNODE.

Procedure

  1. Create a basic policy. In a later Connect:Direct configuration scenario, you edit this policy to add security features to it.
