Gateway Services (Reference)

TSecureGateway Overview

Secure Multi-Port Gateway manages communications between multiple projects, nodes, and systems.

Architecture Benefits

• 1-to-1 Communications: Direct single site connections
• 1-to-Many Communications: Multiple sites to master project
• Traffic Control: Only authorized traffic between designated points
• Site Isolation: Sites remain separate from each other
• Security: All communications encrypted and authenticated

Example: Business-level project sending requests to any site in a group, with traffic handled via Secure Gateway.

Installation

Basic Setup

1. Run InstallTWebGatewayService.exe
2. Configure TWebGatewayService.exe.config
3. Service created in Windows Services
4. Logs appear in Windows Event Viewer

Multi-Port Setup

When using additional ports:

1. Stop service:

   cmd

   InstallWebGateway /uninstall

2. Modify TWebGatewayService.exe.config
3. Reinstall with port configuration:

   cmd

   InstallWebGateway

The installer reads config and updates Windows routing table.

Configuration Parameters

Core Parameters

Optional Parameters

Multi-Port Configuration

Configure additional routing with ExtraCount:

xml

<add key="ExtraCount" value="3"/>
<add key="LocalPort2" value="3100"/>
<add key="RemoteIP2" value="192.168.1.100"/>
<add key="RemotePort2" value="3101"/>

<add key="LocalPort3" value="3200"/>
<add key="RemoteIP3" value="192.168.1.200"/>
<add key="RemotePort3" value="3201"/>

Pattern continues for LocalPort(n), RemoteIP(n), RemotePort(n).

Service Management

Starting the Service

Start from Windows Services or command line:

cmd

net start TWebGatewayService

Verification

Check Windows Event Viewer for startup log:

First redirect :: LocalPort: 3101, RemoteIP: localhost, RemotePort: 3101
Extra Redirection Table:
Listen on ipv4:     Connect to ipv4:
Address    Port     Address         Port
0.0.0.0    3100    192.168.80.129  3100
0.0.0.0    3102    192.168.80.129  3101

Monitoring

• Windows Event Viewer for logs
• Performance Monitor for traffic
• Network traces for debugging

Configuration Examples

Single Site Gateway

Basic 1-to-1 connection:

xml

<add key="LocalPort" value="3101"/>
<add key="RemoteIP" value="192.168.1.100"/>
<add key="RemotePort" value="3101"/>

Multi-Site with Windows Auth

Master connecting to multiple sites:

xml

<add key="LocalPortWA" value="3102"/>
<add key="WA" value="true"/>
<add key="ExtraCount" value="2"/>

<add key="LocalPort2" value="3200"/>
<add key="RemoteIP2" value="site1.local"/>
<add key="RemotePort2" value="3101"/>

<add key="LocalPort3" value="3300"/>
<add key="RemoteIP3" value="site2.local"/>
<add key="RemotePort3" value="3101"/>

Limitations and Notes

• Windows Authentication disables multi-port functionality
• XML comments use <!-- --> syntax (remove when editing)
• All config modifications require service restart
• Default values in TWebGatewayService.exe.config
• Each additional port requires unique LocalPort number
• RemotePort can be same across different RemoteIPs
