Verify Relay Service

You can verify whether system you intend to install the BYOD gateway on will be able to connect to the relay service used to communicate with BYOD Suite clients.

Note: Port 443 is the outbound port used by a gateway to communicate with the relay service over SSL. There is no inbound port for used for the relay service.

Scout

  1. Download the Scout utility to the system you intend to install the BYOD gateway on.
  2. Double-click scout.exe to output log information to the command window. You should text similar to:

SUMMARY
------------------------------------------------------------------------

All checks were successful. System appears ready for Kaseya BYOD Gateway.


Report complete. Press Enter to exit:

If Scout does not report any errors, the BYOD gateway you install on the system will be able to connect to the relay service.

Specifying a Proxy Server and Port

If you connect to the internet via a proxy server make sure Scout reports the proxy server name used. If you use a proxy server but it is not a system defined resource then you may have to give Scout the proxy server information.

Use the following to force Scout to use a specific proxy server if it does not find it by default.

scout.exe -p http://proxyserver:proxyport

where proxyserver and proxyport are the hostname and port of your proxy server, respectively. The -p option tells Scout to use that proxy, not the system-defined one.

If that works, Scout will show information at the end of the report reminding you to set proxy_server in your byodgateway.ini.

You will be prompted to enter something like the following in you byodgateway.ini file.

proxy_server = http://proxyserver:proxyport

If your proxy server requires basic authentication you can provide credentials by using

proxy_server = http://proxyuser:proxypassword@proxyserver:proxyport

Before making any changes to the byodgateway.ini file it is recommended that you make a copy of the ini file in case you need to reset to default values.

NTLM Authenticated Sites

Scout can also be used to test the Internet Tunnel feature to NTLM authenticated sites using the following command line options:

scout-x.x.x.exe -q -x -d -w http://sitename/ -u DOMAIN\username:password

If scout returns a 200 status code, OK, then you should be able to configure the BYOD gateway to tunnel to the tested site.
