Integrating ConnectWise Manage and Remote Manager customers

Procedure

1. Use the ConnectWise Manage console to obtain the API keys required for communication between ConnectWise Manage and Trend Micro Remote Manager.

      Important ConnectWise Manage assigns a Public Key and Private Key for the new entry. The Private Key only displays once. Copy the Private Key carefully. If you lose the key, you cannot recover the Private Key again and must create a new entry and reconfigure the Remote Manager server.

   3. In the ConnectWise Manage section, select Enable integration to allow ConnectWise Manage to receive notifications from Trend Micro Remote Manager.
      • ConnectWise Manage URL: Type the ConnectWise Manage URL or FQDN.

        Note By default, Trend Micro Remote Manager automatically uses HTTPS communication with the ConnectWise Manage server. If your company requires HTTP communication, you must specify the URL, not the FQDN.

      • Company ID: Type the company name you use to log onto the ConnectWise Manage console.
