Editing the TTM File

When the client connects to the Security Gateway, the updated policy is downloaded to the client and written in the $FWDIR/conf/trac.config file.

If you make changes in the $FWDIR/conf/trac_client_1.ttm file of a Security Gateway, you must install the policy on the Security Gateway.

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

The TTM file must stay in UNIX format. If you do convert 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 Security Gateway.

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

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