Editing the TTM File

When the client connects to the gateway, the updated policy is downloaded to the client and written in the trac.config file.

If you make changes to the gateway's trac_client_1.ttm file, you must install the policy on each changed gateway.

Note - When you edit the configuration file, do not use a DOS editor, such as WordPad or Microsoft Word, which changes the file's formatting.

The TTM file must stay in UNIX format. If you do change the file to DOS, you must convert it back to UNIX. You can use the dos2unix command, or open it in an editor that can save it in a UNIX format.

To activate changes in the TTM file:

  1. Edit and save the file.

  2. Install the policy in one of these ways:

    • In SmartConsole, select Install Policy and install Access Control on each changed gateway.

    • Run cpstop and cpstart from the CLI of each changed gateway.

      Important - If you use Secondary Connect or MEP, make sure that the TTM files on all gateways have the same settings.
