NetXMS Support Forum

Hello,
I am testing this out and wanted to see how I would be able to setup a tunnel between the agents and server.  Sorry in advance I am new to this.

For the setup I know that you need to set up a certificate (private key) and a CA certificate. But is this something that I need to download a 3rd party software that I can set up?  or enable it within Windows?

I am running the server on a Windows 10 Pro 64bit. Running the latest 4.1 NetXMS.

Hi all,

Was wondering what the best way to securely have agents connect to the NetXMS server? 
Few workstations agents will be on other networks that are not connected via VPN or behind firewall/routers. Was hoping to get any suggestions?

I was reading and looks like the only options are below:


Option 1: Agent to Server connection
Option 2: Server to Agent connection

Option 1 will require certificates and agent tunnels (see https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/server-management.html#server-configuration-for-agent-to-server-connection-tunnel-connection). This setup is a bit more involved, but makes a lot of sense if you are connecting to agents behind routers/firewalls which the NetXMS server cannot talk to directly.

Option 2 will simply require the NetXMS server be able to talk to your NetXMS agent on TCP port 4700. If you have a VPN between your server and the Agents, that's probably the easiest setup. Just make sure your Windows firewall doesn't block the incoming connection from the NetXMS server to your agent. You won't need the ServerConnection parameter for this either, MasterServers is enough.

Hi there,
Sorry for the newbie question... I had a question on where the location or file path should be placed for the nxmc.properties  ??

I updated the logo and file settings, just wondering where I should be saving the file and logo at....?
I am running this on a windows 2012 server...
