Configuring Bridge Connections and Downloading the Bridge
Besides configuration, this steps creates the public Platform certificate, which is uploaded into the Bridge Registry.
1. Creating the Bridge connection entry.
|
Alias |
A name to recognize the Bridge besides the UUID |
|
Bridge password |
The password, which is used to create the tunnel and to verify access from and to the Bridge. |
|
Lobster Bridge Gateway |
The gateway the Bridge creates the tunnel with. |
|
Partner |
If AS2 shall be used later, the appropriate partner can be chosen here. |
After confirmation the new Bridge Connection Entry is visible in the table. Since the Bridge is neither fully configured nor running, it will be displayed as offline.
Besides the password the Id of the Bridge will be needed. The context menu on a table entry provides the Id of the Bridge via "Copy Bridge-ID to clipboard".
2. Downloading the Bridge
Popups must be allowed for this page otherwise the download will fail. There is one download which works for Linux and Windows equally.
You can download the Bridge before configuring the Bridge Connections, the download file is not customized with any connection parameters in any way.
4. Updating the Connection to use the Bridge Certificate
5. Accessing the Bridge UI
When a Bridge successfully created a tunnel, the UI of the Bridge can be accessed directly from the platform.
On a configuration entry there is a context menu "Remote Bridge Configuration" for this. This shows the same Bridge UI which you can access locally on the remote Bridge system.
