Configuration via Ceptor Console

Here, you can define which ports to listen for connections on, and which protocols to use.

Image RemovedImage Added

You can add any number of listeners here, a listener is a TCP port that the gateway listens for connections for clients on, and for each port, you select the protocol (AJP, HTTP or HTTPS) to use.

...

When adding a new listener, select the protocol, and optionally specify the IP address to restrict listening to, then specify the TCP port number to use.

Image RemovedImage Added

Once created, each listener has these properties which you can edit - note that the SSL options are only used if the protocol is set to https.

...

https
HTTP over SSL.
http
Unencrypted HTTP.
ajp
Apache JServ Protocol - a binary unencrypted protocol used by some proxy servers, such as Apache or nginx.
Use of ajp is to be considered experimental and not generally recommended by Asseco.

Note that for HTTP, all current versions of the HTTP protocol are supported by the gateway, meaning 0.9/1.0/1.1 and HTTP/2.

...

Default: false
JSON key is: useproxyprotocol

Use forwarded header

Check to enable support for the Forwarded HTTP header - use this to allow a proxy in front of Ceptor to forward IP address and TCP port information using the RFC7239 HTTP Forwarded header.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239

SSL settings for https protocol

...

Default: none
JSON key: includeprotocols

Require SNI hostname to match available certificates

If set, incoming SNI hostname request must match a certificate, so no default is used.

Warning

This will give an SSL error in the client, if it does not send a SNI servername this server has a certificate that matches.

In the default case, the first available certificate will be used if an exact match cannot be found to the client SNI request.

Default: false
JSON key: sni.requirematch

Use ciphersuites order

If set, use configured cipher suites order and prefer first specified in the list.

...

Default: none
JSON key: keystore.password

Additional keystores

This allows you to define additional keystores to load certificates from, or you can add the certificates and private keys directly to the configuration without needing to load them from external files. (Requires minimum version 6.5.0)

Tip
Ceptor Gateway combines multiple keystores into one logical keystore - so if you load keys and certificates from multiple places using multiple providers, e.g. from both files and from hardware HSMs, then both types can be used simultaneously.

Image Added Image Added

In this example above, you can define a new keystore of a different type and provider, and you can define extra keys and certificates directly without loading them from external sources.

For more specific information about the JSON layout, refer to: Keystore configuration

Default: none
JSON key: keystores

Truststore type

Type of truststore, e.g. PKCS12, or JKS (default PKCS12)
All certificates found in this keystore will be loaded and used as accepted CA certificates when prompting for SSL client certificates.
Note that authentication is not done solely on these certificates - authentication of SSL client certificates is done by authentication plugins in the Ceptor Session Controller which have their own set of allowed and configured root CAs.

...

Default: none
JSON key: truststore.password

Additional truststores

This allows you to define additional keystores to load trusted certificates from, or you can add the certificates directly to the configuration without needing to load them from external files. (Requires minimum version 6.5.0)
