The Retain Router allows Retain to connect to mobile devices, BBM (BlackBerry Mobile), and REST.
The Retain Router is installed on a separate server usually in the network DMZ so it has access to the internet.

[edit] Retain Server Prerequisites
On the Retain Server, go to Server Configuration. Under the Communications tab and in the Retain Server Connection section:
- Fill out "Retain Server Host". This is the Retain Server IP address or hostname
- Set the Server Protocol and Port. This needs to match Router Configuration below
For testing, you may set it to http with the port set to 48080.
[edit] Configure the Router
- Click on Router Configuration
- Host is the IP address or hostname of the Router server
- Port 443 if security is set to SSL, or 48080 if set to Plaintext. This should match the Server Configuration above
- Under the Storage tab, set the Storage Path
[edit] Install Retain Router
[edit] Prerequisites
- For Retain 4.x the Router requires a server with 8G of RAM
- Install a web server as you did for the Retain Server
[edit] Download and Run Installer
- Download the RetainInstall package or copy the one you used to install the Retain Server to the Router server
- Extract the zip file
- (In Linux) change permissions:
chmod +x *.sh
- (In Linux) change permissions:
- Run RetainInstall
- Select only the Retain Router
The installer will install java and tomcat.
[edit] Access the Retain Server Console
Test Connection establishes a connection to the Router and allows the Router to configure itself.
- Open a tab and browse to your Retain Server Console
- Click on Router Configuration
- Click the Test Connection button
If there are connection errors make sure that the router web server can handle SSL and firewalls on the Retain Server and Router are open on the proper ports. In a test system, you would just disable the firewalls to make it faster and easier.
[edit] Access the Retain Router Console
- Open a tab and browse to the Retain Router Console (http://localhost/RetainRouter)
- Login with admin credentials
If you cannot log in make sure that the Retain Server information is filled out under Retain Server/Server Configuration/Communications/Retain Server Host.
