UAG Server Endpoint
A server endpoint represents where clients can connect to communicate with the UA Gateway service.
It is possible to create up to 128 server endpoints (unique adapter-port combinations), allowing UA Gateway to listen and accept connections on multiple adapters.
Each endpoint automatically inherits the common security and authentication settings as defined in the Server Interface settings. Please refer to the Server Interface Settings section for more information.
When an invalid server endpoint is sent to the UAG service, the service fails to start but remains in a recoverable state. In this scenario, the following event log message appears:
"An invalid server endpoint has failed on server interface start. Reason: Failed to establish tcp listener sockets for Ipv4 and IPv6"
The UAG Health Status also changes to “Error” with details of the error similar to the error message shown above. Sending a valid server endpoint restores the UAG causing it to exit the “Error” state. Refer to the UA Gateway Status section for details on querying the health status of the UA Gateway Service.
An endpoint can be invalid due to port collision, invalid port, invalid IP, invalid machine name, unsupported / invalid protocol, etc.
A server endpoint is defined by the following properties:
• Network Adapter: The network adapter on which the UAG Server is listening for incoming connections.
• Port: The port on which the UAG server is listening for incoming connections.
• Protocol: Currently only TCP is supported.
