On Windows, the default installation directory (<INSTALLDIR> below) for Tectia products is:

"C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia" on 32-bit Windows versions

Do not edit this file, but you can use it to view the default settings. This file must be available and correctly formatted for the Connection Broker to get started. For the configuration options, see ssh-broker-config(5).
