Working with firewalls

If you need to monitor servers that sit on the other side of a firewall, you need to set up your system properly, including installing and configure a dedicated Monitor-Over-Firewall machine, configure the LoadRunner Agent to communicate with the MI Listener (which serves as a router between the LoadRunner Agent and Controller), and then define the server measurements that you want the Monitor-Over-Firewall machine to monitor.

To ensure a secure environment, you must also set up client-server authentication. LoadRunner Professional provides a security solution based on an industry standard SSL/TLS library (OpenSSL), which includes both data encryption and authentication. Using this authentication method helps to protect your data from being exposed to third-parties, and to prevent your LoadRunner Professional components from being used by unauthenticated users.

What do you want to do?

• Set up LoadRunner Professional over a firewall
• Configure the LoadRunner Agent
• Set up secure communication over a firewall
• Configure secure communication with two-way TLS (SSL) authentication
