Creating and Managing Profiles

DMZ Gateway has a default Profile for which you define the listening IP address and port of EFT Server and the IP address ban list. When DMZ Gateway (single-Site) connects, only the default Profile is displayed. DMZ Gateway Enterprise allows you to define multiple Profiles. The graphic to the right of the Profile list illustrates the mapping between systems.

When you open the DMZ Gateway Enterprise interface, it displays the configuration for the last profile modified or viewed the last time the interface was open. You can only create, rename, and delete profiles in DMZ Gateway Enterprise.

Defining and Managing Profiles

When you create a profile, you assign the Listening IP address for the incoming clients and the Listening IP address and port for EFT Server. If an IP address is specified in the profile's configuration settings (instead of All Incoming), and that IP address is not present on the system (e.g., the IP addresses are dynamic), the profile is loaded in error, and the error is sent to the DMZ Gateway log and the Windows Event log.

To define a profile

  1. Open the DMZ Gateway interface.

  2. In the Profiles tree, click New. A new Profile appears in the tree.

  3. Provide a name for the profile. The name is limited to 128 characters, but only approximately the first 8 characters will be displayed without scrolling

  4. Click Apply.

  5. The DMZ Gateway interface automatically increments the port number by one. If you change it back to the same port and IP address as another profile, an error prompt appears. Click OK and then adjust the settings.

To rename a profile

  1. Open the DMZ Gateway interface.

  2. In the Profiles tree, click the profile that you want to rename, then click Rename. The name becomes editable.

  3. Provide a new name for the profile, then press ENTER. The name in the tree updates and the name in the right pane after Configuration Settings for updates.

  4. Click Apply.

To delete a profile

You cannot delete the profile if it is the only profile configured.

  1. Open the DMZ Gateway interface.

  2. In the Profiles tree, click the Profile that you want to delete, then click the delete icon . A confirmation message appears.

  3. Click Yes. The Profile is removed from the tree.

  4. Click Apply.
