Configuration file

The following keys in the forwarder configuration file are taken into account. They are strictly identical to the command line options. The parameters passed through the configuration file will override any options provided on the command line.

• name: the name of the DIET forwarder. If missing, a name will be automatically generated.
• peerName: the name of its peer on the other network.
• sshHost: the ssh host for the tunnel creation.
• sshPort: the port to use to establish the ssh connection (by default: 22).
• sshLogin: the login to use to establish the ssh connection (by default: current user login).
• sshKey: the private key to use to establish the ssh connection (by default: $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa).
• remoteHost: the host to which the connection is made by the tunnel (corresponds to host in the ssh options -L and -R).
• remotePort: the port to listen on the ssh host (by default: the remote forwarder tries to dermine an available port automatically, note that if the connection fails when you do not use this option, then you have to specify the remote port).
• tunnelWait: the time is seconds that the forwarder will wait while opening the ssh tunnel.
• clientNbRetry: the number of times the local forwarder tries to bind itself to the distant forwarder (default is 3).
• peerIOR: if you already know the IOR of the distant forwarder, then you can pass it to your local forwarder. By default, the local forwarder retrieves the IOR of its peer.
