Configuration Options

Netmate Connect configuration options are available upon installation and can be edited using the -config switch on the command line.

The following settings can be set:

1. Database directory
   This is the locations of the device database which contains all information including credentials that is required to connect to devices.
2. Enable logging
   If logging is enabled, all session text is logged to a file named with the date, time, and device name. The file will be located in the logging directory.
3. Encrypt database
   If set to true, the database will be encrypted using either AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256 depending on the length of he key given. For example 16 bytes will use AES-128. 24 bytes will use AES-192. 32 bytes will use AES-256. The database can be encrypted or decrypted at anytime using this configuration item using the key selected.
4. Logging directory
   The directory where Connect will store session logs.
5. Keepalive timeout
   If a keepalive higher of 1 or higher is specified, Connect will send a characters equivalent to pressing the right arrow every keepalive interval. This will keep network devices from closing the session due to inactivity.
6. Timeout
   The timeout value is used when Connect is waiting for a response from a device. If the value is set to 0, Connect will wait forever. Otherwise, it will wait for the timeout interval to expire and then take action.
7. License Email
   This configures the licensee to enable full access to Connect.
8. License Key
   The license key provided upon purchase of a license unlocks full access to Connect.
