Create a Basic Connect:Direct Configuration

This scenario contains all the information and tools you need to configure Secure Proxy to establish a basic connection between Connect:Direct® servers. Using default values, the PNODE presents a User ID to connect to the SNODE without Sterling External Authentication Server. As a result, no authentication occurs in Secure Proxy and the user ID presented by the PNODE is used to connect to the SNODE. The basic configuration uses standard routing to route connections to the node you define in the adapter. You are instructed on how to configure PNODE routing, mixed routing, and certificate-based routing in later scenarios.

Before you configure a Connect:Direct connection, make sure that an engine has been configured. Refer to Install or Upgrade Secure Proxy on UNIX or Linux or Install or Upgrade Secure Proxy on Microsoft Windows for instructions.

After you configure Secure Proxy, validate the configuration by initiating a Connect:Direct connection from the PNODE. For more information on testing the configuration, see Test the Connect:Direct Connections.
