Edit online

Use this screen to specify system-level communications information for PeSIT/Sterling Connect:Express connections to and from Secure Proxy. Before you can click the Advanced or Properties tabs, you must specify Adapter Name and Listen Port and select a netmap to associate with the adapter.

Refer to the field definitions in the following table.


Field Name	Description
Name	Name to assign to the adapter you create. Valid values are 1-150 alphanumeric characters with no spaces. Special characters allowed are period (.), dash (-), and underscore (_).
Description	Description to help you identify the adapter you create. Description can be up to 255 characters.
Listen Port	Port number to use to listen for inbound connections. Valid values include 1-65535.
Netmap	Netmap to associate with adapter.
Routing Type	Select the Routing Type to identify how inbound connections are routed to the server in the trusted zone. Routing options include: Standard (Default)—select Standard to direct connections to the outbound node specified in the SNODE Netmap Entry field. Certificate-based—select this option to use the certificate presented by the inbound PNODE to determine which outbound SNODE to connect to. Certificate-based routing uses External Authentication and requires that you configure Sterling External Authentication Server. PNODE-specified—select this option to route outbound connections based on information provided by the inbound PNODE. PNODE-specified, then Standard—select this option to route outbound connections based first on information provided by the inbound PNODE. If the routing information presented by the PNODE is not configured in the netmap, the connection is routed to the outbound node specified in the SNODE Netmap Entry field.
SNODE Netmap Entry	Name of the Sterling Connect:Express server where the node connections are routed, after connecting to Secure Proxy. Select this value from a pull-down list. Note: Only nodes defined with an IP address are outbound nodes, and are shown in the list.
Engine	Engine identifies the Secure Proxy server in the DMZ where the adapter will listen for inbound connections to be routed to the outbound node. Select an engine from the list. You must define an engine before you can create an adapter.
Startup Mode	Identifies how the adapter is started. auto (Default) starts the adapter as soon as the configuration is pushed to the engine. manual requires that the adapter be manually started.
