Top

Name

Specify the unique name of the listener, up to 255 characters in length. You cannot include angle brackets (<>) or ampersands (&) in the name.

Top

Connection Endpoint

Specify the network address used by the listener to accept incoming client requests. The format is:

protocol:ip-address:port

where:

If this network address is not unique in the repository, this may cause listener start-up problems.

Top

Secure Sockets Layer

Check this to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which provides encrypted communication between server and client applications and authentication of online entities.

Top

Certificate

Enter the filename of your server certificate, such as srvcert.pem. If this file is not in the default directory (which is the certs directory at the location defined by the SSLDIR environment variable), you also need to specify the full path to the file. The server certificate proves your identity to people you communicate with online and enables them to send you data in encrypted form.

Top

Keyfile

Enter the filename of your private key file, such as srvkey.pem. If this file is not in the default directory (which is the keys directory at the location defined by the SSLDIR environment variable), you also need to specify the full path to the file. You use the private key to decrypt encrypted data you receive.

Top

Legacy Micro Focus Application Format

Check this if you want the listener to handle non-standard TCP/IP flows, for example, for Fileshare clients.

Top

Current Status

Shows the current status of the listener:

Blocked The listener is started when the server starts, but it does not accept client requests.
Disabled The listener is stopped and is therefore not available to any client
Invalid An error has occurred such that it has not been possible to set the status to any other value
Not responding The listener status is unknown because the server it is registered with is not responding to the server monitor
Started The server listener is running.
Stopped The listener is stopped.

Top

New Status

Choose a status from the list. If the status of the server is "Started", the possible listener statuses are:

Blocked The listener is still running but will not be found by clients searching for this listener in a "Started" state. One use for this status is where you want to allow requests from only one client, perhaps for debugging purposes. You could amend the client code to ignore a "Blocked" status and allow requests through.
Disabled The listener is stopped and will not be started.
Started The server listener is started.
Stopped The listener is stopped.

If the status of the server is "Stopped", the possible statuses are:

Blocked The listener is stopped. The listener is started when the server starts, but will not be found by clients searching for this listener in a "Started" state. One use for this status is where you want to allow requests from only one client, perhaps for debugging purposes. You could amend the client code to ignore a "Blocked" status and allow requests through.
Disabled The listener is stopped and it will not be started when the server starts.
Stopped The listener is stopped. It will be started when the server starts.
