Configuration files in Protocol Gateway

This article is valid for Certificate Manager 8.5 and later.

This article describes the configuration files and folders that come with Protocol Gateway.

Each enrollment protocol is configured in a separate <protocol>.properties file and determines the following:

The flag to enable the protocol.
The names of the enrollment token procedures in CM server.
The name and location of any device RA token.
Any protocol specific configuration.

It is possible to override the cmHost and officer parameters specified in cmgateway.properties. on a protocol and/or handler level. This makes it possible for different protocols and handlers to connect to different CF instances. See below for an example on how to configure cmHost and officer for a handler:

Example: How to configure cmHost and officer for a handler

handler.20.filter = certificates/[a-z0-9A-Z]+/details
handler.20.format = api/certificates-details
handler.20.cmhost = cf-host-ip
handler.20.officer.keyfile = protocol-gateway-vro-cf-host-ip.p12
handler.20.officer.password = <...>

<configroot> path

The <protocol>.properties file are stored in the <configroot> path.

<configroot> corresponds to the following paths:

Windows <configroot>

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/Nexus/cm-gateway/

Linux <configroot>

/var/cm-gateway/
