Field Name

Description

Node Logging Level
Node Logging Level identifies the level of logging to write to the log file for the outbound node. Logging options include:
  • NONE turns logging off.
  • ERROR writes only error messages to the log.
  • WARN writes error and warning messages to the log.
  • INFO writes error, warning, and informational messages to the log.
  • DEBUG writes all messages to the log including debugging messages. Use this logging level when instructed to turn it on by IBM® Support.

Destination Service Name

Destination Service Name identifies a destination server that can be accessed by the outbound node, when using Sterling External Authentication Server to map a user ID and password. Valid values are 1-255 alphanumeric characters and certain special characters. The following special characters are not allowed: ! @ # % ^ * ( ) + ? , < > { } [ ] | "; " '

User ID

User ID identifies the user ID to use to connect to the secure outbound server, if the policy is defined to required that the user ID and password from the netmap be used. Valid values are 1-255 alphanumeric characters and certain special characters. The following special characters are not allowed: ! @ # % ^ * ( ) + ? , < > { } [ ] | "; " '

Password

Password to use to connect to the secure outbound server, if the policy is defined to required that the user ID and password from the netmap be used. Valid values are 1-255 alphanumeric characters and certain special characters. The following special characters are not allowed: , " '

Alternate Destinations - Node

Alternate Destinations Node 1 identifies the node name or IP address and port to use to connect to an alternate outbound server, if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be defined for each outbound node.

To use different security and Sterling External Authentication Server definitions for the alternate destination node, first configure an outbound node definition for the alternate node in the netmap. Then, open the primary outbound node definition and select the alternate node name from the drop-down list in the Alternate Destinations - Node 1 field.

To use the security and Sterling External Authentication Server definition defined in the primary outbound node for an alternate destination node, you do not have to define the alternate node in the netmap. Select IP Address/Port from the drop down list and then provide a value in the IP Address and Port fields."

Alternate Destinations - IP Address

Alternate Destinations Address identifies the IP address to use to connect to an alternate destination node, if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be selected. Valid values are 1-200 alphanumeric characters and special characters: underscore (_), dash (-), colon (:), and period (.).

If you provide an IP address and port as an alternate destination and a connection to the alternate node is attempted, the security and Sterling External Authentication Server definition from the primary node is used for the connection.

Alternate Destinations - Port

Alternate Destinations Port identifies the port to use to connect to an alternate destination node, if a connection to the primary node cannot be made. Up to three alternate destination nodes can be selected. Valid values are 1-65535.

If you provide an IP address and port as an alternate destination and a connection to the alternate node is attempted, the security and Sterling External Authentication Server definition from the primary outbound node is used for the connection.
