Adding a checksum to a Windows proxy configuation file
In the Checksum section of the Windows proxy configuration file, the checksum ensures that the file has not been tampered with since it has been copied or uploaded from the appliance. Using the tw_sign_winproxy_config utility, you can add the checksum without uploading the file to the appliance. To add the checksum to the file, type the following command:
$TIDEWAY/bin/tw_sign_winproxy_config --config-file= C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ADDM Active Directory Proxy\etc\winproxy.conf
You can then copy the signed file to multiple appliances using ftp or similar.
