Requirements

When your BigFix server is installed in an air-gapped environment where a secure network is physically isolated from insecure networks, such as the public Internet or an insecure local area network, and the computers on opposite sides of the air gap cannot communicate, you need a workstation that has access to the public Internet to download Fixlet site contents using the Airgap tool, and to download files referenced in the Fixlet action scripts.

This workstation cannot be a BigFix server or a BigFix relay.

The Airgap tool is platform dependent, but the AirgapRequest.xml (for extraction usage only) and AirgapResponse files are not. For the workstation that has access to the public Internet, you can use different operating systems available for the BigFix server.

Depending on sites gathered, the AirgapResponse file can be larger than 4GB. Your workstation must have enough free disk space to save the Airgap tool, the AirgapResponse file, and the files to download.

To run the Airgap tool on Windows computers, you must have the following libraries and files installed:
BESAirgapTool.exe
libBEScrypto.dll
libBEScryptoFIPS.dll
msvcm90.dll
msvcp90.dll
msvcr90.dll
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
ca-bundle.crt
You can get all the above files by downloading a compressed file (Airgap Tool) from the Utilities page.
To run the Airgap tool on Linux computers, you must have the following files installed:
Airgap
Airgap.sh
libBEScrypto.so
libBEScryptoFIPS.so
ca-bundle.crt

If DB2 is not installed on the Linux computer that has access to the public Internet, to run the Airgap tool you must have installed the HCL Data Server Client or HCL Data Server Runtime Client using the db2setup command. The DB2 instance must be created with user db2inst1.
