The Retain Message Router allows devices outside your network to archive to the Retain Server without exposing the server directly to the Internet. The Router sits in your network's DMZ and routes items to the Retain Server.
The Router should be installed on a server other than the Retain server itself.
This is much simpler than installing the entire Retain server system. It only requires installing the webserver and the Router agent software. It uses the same installer as above.
Prerequisites:
Install the web server (IIS with ISAPI filter, as above).
Make sure that the Router server can connect to the Retain Server.
Install:
Download the latest version of Retain.
Extract the archive.
Run the installer, RetainInstall.exe, as above.
When selecting the components to install. Select "Message Router" only.
Finish the install as normal.
Create a data directory for the Router to use to temporarily use to store messages until they can be transferred to the Retain Server.
Configure the Router in the Retain Server console under Configuration | Router Configuration. Retain Message Router Configuration
The Router can be accessed by browsing to http://[IPAddress or HostName]/RetainRouter.
