Gateway Administrator Properties File

You can use the Gateway Administrator properties file to modify the configurable settings listed below. It is located in the Reflection Gateway installation folder in the GatewayAdministrator\conf subfolder. The default location is:

C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\ReflectionGateway\GatewayAdministrator\conf

NOTE:

  • You must restart the server after editing container.properties for your changes to take effect.

  • A backup file, container.properties.example, in the same folder provides a copy of the original default settings.

Database settings

Default settings configure connection to the default HyperSQL database. Commented settings show sample configuration to MySQL. For more information about changing the database, see Changing the Gateway Administrator Database.

jdbc.url

The connection information for the database. Edit localhost:3306/mft to specify the host, port, and database name of your database. Do not change useSSL=false; SSL connections are not supported.

jdbc.username

The username of a user with access to the database.

jdbc.password

The username of a user with access to the database.

hibernate.dialect

Use the value shown in the file.

ldaps.port.enabled

Set this option to true to expose the internal Gateway Administrator LDAP server. The default is false.

directory.ldaps.port

Specifies the listening port used by the Gateway Administrator LDAP server when ldaps.port.enabled is true.

servletengine.ssl.port

The HTTPS port used to connect to the Gateway Administrator web interface. The default is 9490.

transfer.server.url

The public-facing base URL of the Reflection Transfer Server. This is used in URLs included in email messages sent from Gateway Administrator.

password.reset.expiration

Sets the token expiration time (in minutes) for password reset. Users who request a password recovery email must perform the reset before the token expires.

configservice-ws.host

Specifies the hostname or IP address that the Gateway Administrator web service listens on. The Reflection Secure Shell Proxy and the Reflection Transfer Server communicate with this web service. If no host is specified (the default), the Gateway Administrator listens on all available IP addresses on the Gateway Administrator server.

configservice-ws.port

Specifies the port that the Gateway Administrator web service listens on. This value must match the value configured on the Reflection Secure Shell Proxy (set from console using Reflection Gateway Users > Gateway Administrator port) and for the Transfer Server (set by clicking Activate and verify in the Reflection Gateway Users pane, which automatically updates configservice-ws.port in the Transfer Server properties file). The default is 9190.

Certificate settings

For more information about changing the server certificate, see Replace the Default Server Certificate.

servletengine.ssl.keystore

The path to the keystore that contains the server certificate and private key. The path must be specified using forward slashes or escaped backslashes. For example:

  • You can specify a relative or absolute path. The default is ../etc/mycert.bcfks.

servletengine.ssl.keystoretype

The file type of the keystore that contains the server certificate and private key. The only supported Java keystore type is BCFKS.

servletengine.ssl.keystorepassword

The password that protects the keystore that contains the server certificate and private key.
