2.11 Configuring a Remote Management Proxy

When you install a Remote Management Proxy on a device, certain settings are configured on the
device, by default. You can choose to edit the settings.
Section 2.11.1, "Remote Management Proxy Settings on a Windows Device," on page 49
Section 2.11.2, "Remote Management Proxy Settings on a Linux Primary Server or Satellite
Server," on page 49
2.11.1 Remote Management Proxy Settings on a Windows
Device
On a Windows device, the registry settings for the Remote Management proxy are available at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZCM\Remote Management\Proxy
ClientPort: Specifies the port number that the proxy uses to listen for any remote session requests
from the Remote Management Viewer. The default value is 5750.
SessionEncryption: Specifies whether the initial flow of data between the proxy and the Remote
Management Viewer is encrypted. The default value is True. The setting is not applicable after the
proxy establishes a connection with the managed device. The session encryption is then governed by
the Remote Management policy and the preferences of remote operator. You should leave this
setting as True because setting it to False allows unauthenticated external processes other than the
Remote Management Viewer to make connections to devices inside the private network.
SSLClientAuthentication: Specifies whether the proxy should accept connection requests from a
viewer that does not have a valid certificate. The possible values are True and False. The default
value is True.
2.11.2 Remote Management Proxy Settings on a Linux Primary
Server or Satellite Server
On a Linux Primary Server or Satellite Server, the settings for the Remote Management proxy are
available in the
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/repeater/nzrepeater.ini
settings are:
viewerport: Specifies the port number that the Remote Management proxy uses to listen for any
remote session requests from the Remote Management Viewer. The default value is 5750.
runasuser: Specifies the user that the proxy should impersonate. The Remote Management Proxy
requires only user privileges to perform remote operations. The default value is zenworks. However,
you can specify a different user.
strictimpersonation: Specifies if the remote session should continue as
specified as the runasuser does not exist. The possible values are true or false. The default value is
false, which indicates that the remote session continues as
runasuser does not exist.
sslauth: Specifies whether SSL authentication is enabled or disabled. The possible values are 0 or 1.
The default value is 1, which indicates that SSL authentication is enabled.
