The service agent finds Nginx and Apache and runs the service’s product package on the Linux server.

The service agent on the server fetches the task from the appliance over outbound HTTPS on port 443 and installs the certificate locally on the server. The appliance never connects to the server.

What happens

  1. The service agent on the server fetches the task from the appliance over outbound HTTPS, port 443.
  2. The service agent discovers Nginx and Apache. Select the service’s integration and certificate binding from discovery.
  3. The service’s product package installs, activates and verifies the certificate according to its own requirements.

Technical details

Connection
The package runs through the service agent on the server. The agent connects over outbound HTTPS to the appliance, port 443 by default. You open no port into the server.
You need
The service agent installed on the server.
Actions
Depends on the product package or on your own script
Packages
apache-ssh nginx-ssh
Note
  • Use the Apache or Nginx package for web servers. Tomcat and WebLogic have separate integrations for keystores. File formats, platform requirements and recovery depend on the product package.
  • For other services you can upload your own script as a custom agent that runs on the server.
