Configuration via Ceptor Console
Here, you can define which ports to listen for connections on, and which protocols to use.
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.
Adding a new listener
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.
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.
Listener settings
JSON key: A listener is specified as an object within a listener array.
Scheme / Protocol
Scheme / Protocol to use when listening on the TCP port.
Must be either https, http or ajp
If https is specified, the SSL settings must also be filled in - otherwise they are ignored.
Protocols:
- 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: none
JSON key: scheme
IP Address
IP Address specifies which interface to listen for connections on - leave blank or set to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.
Default: 0.0.0.0
JSON key is: address
TCP Port
TCP Port to listen for connections on
Default: none
JSON key is port
Support Proxy Protocol
Check to enable support for the HA Proxy protocol - use this to allow a proxy in front of Ceptor to forward IP address and TCP port information using this protocol instead of in HTTP headers.
See http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
Default: false
JSON key is: useproxyprotocol
SSL settings for https protocol
SSL settings for the https protocol.
JSON key: All ssl settings are in the JSON object sslcontext within the individual listener object.
JCE Provider
Name of SSL JCE Provider to use, or leave blank for default JDK provider.
Default: Default in JDK/JRE.
JSON key: ssl.provider
Protocol
Name of SSL Protocol (e.g. TLS), or leave blank for default.
Default: TLSv1.2
JSON key: ssl.protocol
Want client auth
Ask client to optionally present an SSL client certificate - if set, the client is asked to provide a certifikate, but allowed to proceed without one. Modern browsers support this by checking the CA certificate list sent by the server - if the client has any certificates issued by one of the trusted CA certs, then it prompts the user to select one of them. If there is no match, the client continues anonymously without sending a client certificate.
Default: false
JSON key: wantclientauth
Need client auth
Require client to present an SSL client certificate. If set, the client needs to provide an SSL client certificate, or the connection will be terminated.
Default: false
JSON key: needclientauth
Allow renegotiate
Allow unsecure renegotiation, turn off for best security
Default: false
JSON key: allowrenegotiate
Exclude protocols
Comma/semicolon separated list of SSL/TLS protocols to exclude from the JCE default protocols list - patterns are regex expressions.
Default: SSL,SSLv2,SSLv2Hello,SSLv3
JSON key: excludeprotocols
Include protocols
Comma/semicolon separated list of protocols to include from the JCE supported protocols list - patterns are regex expressions.
Default: none
JSON key: includeprotocols
Use ciphersuites order
If set, use configured cipher suites order and prefer first specified in the list.
Default: false
JSON key: useciphersuites.order
Exclude ciphersuites
Comma/semicolon separated list of ciphersuites to exclude from the JCE default ciphersuites list - patterns are regex expressions.
Default: .*NULL.*,.*RC4.*,.*MD5.*,.*DSS.*
JSON key: excludeciphersuites
Include ciphersuites
Comma/semicolon separated list of ciphersuites to include from the JCE supported ciphersuites list - patterns are regex expressions
Default: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_,SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
JSON key: includeciphersuites
Keystore type
Type of keystore, e.g. PKCS12, or JKS - must be a type supported by the specified Keystore provider.
Default: PKCS12
JSON key: keystore.type
Keystore provider
Name of JCE provider (default BC - BouncyCastle Provider)
Default: BC
JSON key: keystore.provider
Keystore file
Name of and path to file containing keystore
Default: none
JSON key: keystore.file
Keystore password
Password for the keystore and keys within - can optionally be encrypted/obfuscated.
Default: none
JSON key: keystore.password
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.type
Truststore provider
Name of JCE provider
Default: BC
JSON key: truststore.provider
Truststore file
Name of and path to file containing truststore
Default: none
JSON key: truststore.file
Truststore password
Password for the truststore and keys within - can optionally be encrypted/obfuscated
Default: none
JSON key: truststore.password
