HTTPS protocol parameters

To enable the HTTPS protocol, add the HTTPS subsection to the GATEWAY section of the configuration file.

The HTTPS subsection can appear only once, or not at all. If it is specified in the configuration file then the relevant protocol handler will be enabled. If the parameters are not configured correctly, for example: non-numeric characters used for the port numbers, or the port parameter is missing, then the Gateway will fail to start.

During start-up, if HTTPS is configured then an APPLID and APPLID Qualifier must be specified otherwise the Gateway daemon will fail to start.

The syntax for the HTTPS subsection is as follows:

SUBSECTION HTTPS
   port=<number>
   bind=<name>
   clientauth=<on|off>
   ciphersuites=<cipher suites>
ENDSUBSECTION

Entries correspond to fields in the HTTPS settings panel:

Table 1. HTTPS protocol
Entry in the configuration file	Description
bind	Bind address
port	Port
clientauth	Use client authentication
ciphersuites	Use only these ciphers
