The procedure for deploying a remote agent has not changed significantly since the alpha releases. The process involves several steps:
- In the Gateway management application, generate a new remote integrator record and associated 'key' file.
- Provide the key file and password to your client (in a secure two-step manner - provide the file electronically and provide the password by some other means such as phone or SMS).
- Provide download links to the remote integrator installer and install at the remote site.
- During installation, provide the 'key' file and password.
- In the Gateway management application, promote the remote agent to 'authorized'.
- Deploy channels.
Provision a Remote Integrator
Once the remote integrator installer has run, you should see the state change from 'Awaiting Connection' to 'Awaiting Authorization'.
Click the 'Authorize' button (beside the green shield icon) to enable unrestricted communications to the remote site.
Before you deploy a channel
- The only queue device supported by the Channel Runner
- Some devices are not supported by the Channel Runner, specifically the Queue device and branch device. You must use the Mongo queue device (which is available from Nuget package manager within Connexion).
