New/Edit Hub

For most connections you can enter the Hub server name or address and use the default values provided for the other values.

State

To disable a hub, click Disabled then Save and Activate. (In this context, this button saves the disabled state, it does not activate the hub.)

Save and Activate

This button is available after you have provided required server information. Clicking it does the following:

  • Confirms that Gateway Administrator can connect to Hub.

  • Configures a certificate on the Hub (if it does not already exist) that will be used by the Hub to authenticate Gateway Administrator in future connections.

  • Retrieves the certificate that will be used by Gateway Administrator to authenticate the Hub in future connections.

  • On the Hub, configures the Gateway Administrator response address and port that will be used by the Hub to send messages back to Gateway Administrator.

  • Saves the Hub address and port in the Gateway Administrator database.

Hub server

The host name or IP address that can be used by Gateway Administrator to connect to this Hub.

Hub listening port

The port used by Gateway Administrator to connect to the Hub. The default is 9188.

This port is configurable on the Hub server in the Hub container.properties file using hub.command-api.port.

Gateway Administrator server

The host name or IP address of the system running the Gateway Administrator Service.

Gateway Administrator listening port

The port used by the Hub to send command responses to Gateway Administrator. The default is 9186.

This port is configurable on the Gateway Administrator server in the container.properties file using configservice.response-api.port.

Certificate information

After a successful connection, this page displays the certificate used by Gateway Administrator to authenticate the Hub. Gateway Administrator automatically trusts the first certificate it receives. To verify the imported certificate, you can compare this information with the certificate in the etc directory on the Hub.

If the Hub certificate changes at a later date, delete this Hub configuration and create a new one.
