\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BigFix\Remote Control\Gateway.

\ProgramData\BigFix\Remote Control\Gateway.

Define the connections that are required in the gateway configuration file. The gateway configuration file has a similar format to a Java properties file.
  • The gateway supports multiple instances of each connection type
  • The configuration directives for each connection have a user-defined prefix.
Depending on the setup of your environment, you can define four types of connections.
  • Inbound connections
  • Gateway connections
  • Endpoint connections
  • Tunnel connections
