Configuration

The OpenDXL Console requires a set of configuration files to operate.

This distribution contains a config sub-directory that includes the configuration files that must be populated prior to running the console.

Each of these files are documented throughout the remained of this page.

Console configuration directory:

config/
    dxlclient.config
    dxlconsole.config
    logging.config (optional)

DXL Client Configuration File (dxlclient.config)

The required dxlclient.config file is used to configure the DXL client that will connect to the DXL fabric.

The steps to populate this configuration file are the same as those documented in the OpenDXL Python SDK, see the OpenDXL Python SDK Samples Configuration page for more information.

The following is an example of a populated DXL client configuration file:

[Certs]
BrokerCertChain=c:\\certificates\\brokercerts.crt
CertFile=c:\\certificates\\client.crt
PrivateKey=c:\\certificates\\client.key

[Brokers]
{5d73b77f-8c4b-4ae0-b437-febd12facfd4}={5d73b77f-8c4b-4ae0-b437-febd12facfd4};8883;mybroker.mcafee.com;192.168.1.12
{24397e4d-645f-4f2f-974f-f98c55bdddf7}={24397e4d-645f-4f2f-974f-f98c55bdddf7};8883;mybroker2.mcafee.com;192.168.1.13

OpenDXL Console (dxlconsole.config)

The required dxlconsole.config file is used to configure the console.

The following is an example of a populated console configuration file:

[General]
