Manage Gateways
A Gateway is a grouping of Gateway Instances that share the same configuration. To ensure high availability, Entrust recommends adding at least two Gateway Instances. Once deployed, each Gateway Instance includes the Database Agent, which handles all database-related communication required by the Gateway.
- Database Agent: Handles all database communication required by the Gateway.
Note: The Gateway is hardened as required by the CIS Hardening Standards Level 1. See the Center for Internet Security for more information about the standards.
Prerequisites
- You must be an administrator with Enterprise Gateway and Agents Management permission to administer Gateways. See Create and assign roles for more information.
- For Enterprise Service Gateways that connect to Instant ID as a service, you must configure your firewall to allow connections to your Instant ID as a service account. Instant ID as a service uses HTTPS on port 443.
Gateway port information
- The Gateway connects to Instant ID as a service on port 443.
