Install the Bridge Server

Feature deprecation: On the January 1, 2021 decommission start date, Genesys development will begin to scale down the support services and remove unused connector services as final customers migrate off the connectors. Genesys will also introduce periodic disabling of the connectors during off hours. In early 2021, Genesys will post a schedule for disabling each connector, with two-week advance notice. Genesys’ objective throughout the decommission and removal process is to ensure that we do not negatively impact our customers’ businesses. For more information, see Deprecation: Genesys Cloud Bridge integrations.

Prerequisites:
  • Machine (virtual machine recommended) for running the Bridge Server.
  • Plan for handling connector credentials (Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange integrations only).
  • Plan for fault tolerance (know how many Bridge Servers you will install).
  • If you plan to configure the Bridge Server and connectors behind a web proxy, complete the proxy server configuration before you install the Bridge Server. 
Note: Make sure to apply all critical and important Windows updates before you install the Bridge Server.

      3. Paste the token into the Token field.
      4. If you are using a proxy server, type the proxy address in the Proxy Server field. 
      5. Select a service account based on your plan for handling the Bridge credentials:
        • If the connectors will receive credentials from the cloud through the Network Service, accept the default.
        • If the connectors will receive credentials from the Bridge Server domain account, type the account credentials. Make sure that the account credentials include the domain name before the user name (domain\username).
      6. Click Install.
Note: The Bridge Server installation wizard does not provide an option for the US West (Oregon) AWS region. To install the Bridge Server for the US West region, run the installer on the Windows server from an administrator command prompt. For example:

ININBridgeServerSetup.exe TOKEN="insert_pairing_token" REGION="us-west-2" ENV="bridge.usw2.pure.cloud"

If you plan to install multiple instances of the Bridge Server for fault tolerance, repeat the previous steps to install the Bridge Server on other machines.

You can upgrade a Bridge Server when a message on the Servers tab of the Bridge page indicates that a new version of the server is available.
