Server Administration Application – Gateway Server Configuration

Gateway Server Configuration

On this page, you can configure the properties of this Gateway Server.

The gateway server configuration is split into three sections:

Gateway Server Properties
Remote Server Configuration
Gateway Server REST IP Whitelist

Gateway Server Properties

The Gateway Server Properties section contains the Gateway Server API key. This key is used to create the trust relationship between this server acting as a Gateway Server and a Remote Server. It will be copied into the Remote Gateway Server Configuration on the Remote Server.

API Key – The API Key cannot be empty. When the Gateway Server starts for the first time, a new API Key is generated.
Issuer Name – The issuer name is an optional attribute. If specified it will be added to the token sent to a Remote Server.
Issuer URI - The issuer URI is an optional attribute. If specified it will be added to the token sent to a Remote Server.

Remote Server Configuration

The remote server configuration is used by the JavaScript API Gateway.gotoForm() to invoke forms on a remote server.

An IP address containing an * wild card as the last character e.g. 192.168.*
An IP address range e.g. 192.168.0.1|192.168.0.10
