Description

Sometimes it is necessary to switch the BES Client's action site masthead. The action site masthead serves the following functions:

  • Acts as a configuration file with parameters such as BES Server IP address, port number, locking behavior, etc.
  • Contains information necessary for the digital signature security scheme that BES uses (the masthead contains the public key information)
  • Contains the licensing information that allow BES users to operate BES with a specified number of users for a specified length of time A common use for this task is to switch BES Clients from one BES Server to another.

A common use for this task is to switch BES Clients from one BES Server to another. This task applies only to Mac OS X based computers.

Note:  This action will download the file from url http://localhost:52311/Uploads/masthead.afxm and use it as the new masthead. Please put the file at that location or use a custom action to change the download url.

Note: The actions below will remove manual BES Relay settings from the BES Client prior to switching the BES Client masthead.

Important Note: Please make sure the new action site masthead is valid and points to a working BES Server. Once the masthead is switched, the BES Client may not be able to report the final status of the action because they may be pointing to a different BES Server.  Due to the complexity of this action, please fully test this action before use in a production environment.
