URL for connections to Management Points (BLS)

Section:

Site

Description:

The URL that is specified here will be used for all connections of the managed computers in this site to a Management Point (BLS) instead of using the usual internal connection.

We recommend using this URL in the following cases:

  • If you want to redirect the BLS connections from this site to a specific Management Point via HTTPS or HTTP (for example if this site is not covered by the company network).
  • If you want to use an external load balancing application that controls the access to the DSM database (DSMDB).
    See Load Balancing in a BLS Group for details on configuring a load balancing for the DSMDB.

As soon as you specify a URL for this site, DSM uses this URL for all connections to an Management Point!

Possible values:

Valid URL for a specific Management Point (BLS) or an external load balancing application.

Examples for the BLS:

  • https://CentralMP:8080
  • http://CentralMP:8080
