Installing the Control-M MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway on Linux

This procedure describes how to install Control-M MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway on Linux in the DMZ. The Gateway is a proxy server used to transfer files to and from the Control-M MFT Enterprise B2B Hub by external users.

Before you begin

• Download the MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway installation files (see Product Distribution in the Control-M Managed File Transfer Enterprise B2B Release Notes).

To install MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway on Linux:

1. Copy the installation files to the host where you want to install the Gateway.

   NOTE: If you are using the GUI, set the environment variable DISPLAY to value <hostName>:0.0. It is not necessary to set DISPLAY for console mode or silent mode. (For more information, see Setting environment variables in UNIX.)

2. From the MFT Gateway account home directory, run the following command:

   setup.sh

3. Do one of the following:
   • Interactive install: Follow the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.
   • Automatic install: Do the following:
     1. Follow the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.
     2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.
     3. Click Yes to quit the installation.

        A confirmation message appears.

     4. Click Yes.
     5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.
     6. To run the installation script, type the following command:

     <source_path>/setup.sh -silent <source_path/filename.xml>

4. Start up the MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway by running the following command:

   mft-proxy/exe/start-mft-proxy.sh

   NOTE: Verify that the Hub is up before restarting the Gateway.

   After you have installed Control-M MFT Enterprise Gateway, you need to run a script that removes the Log4j v2 vulnerability, as described in 000391322.
