Internal WebSocket Communication Tab

The host for the cloud services communicates with the agent instance wrapped as a service provider through the WebSocket protocol. The host is configured as a server and the individual agent instances are configured as clients. If necessary, you can define parameters that differ from the default values for this communication.

Field

Description

Internal WebSocket Port

You specify a free port number between 1025 and 65535. In the standard system, the same port number is used here as for the cloud services.

Timeout

You use this setting to specify when a timeout should occur during internal communication between the main service, which hosts the cloud services, and the agent instances.

It may be necessary to increase this value if processing of notifications triggered by a service call takes longer, for example, because a complex sequence is to be processed in a multiple call destination system.

Authentication Mode

Use the authentication mode None, if you are sure that on the PCo computer no WebSocket connections are possible from outside. Otherwise, select the authentication mode certificate and create a client certificate with which the individual agent instances can authenticate themselves as clients at the server (in this case, the host for the cloud services).

Client Certificate for Authentication

A client certificate is required if you have selected the authentication mode certificate.

Host Name

Host name that is to be used for internal WebSocket communication. It might be necessary, especially if you are using client certificates, to specify the host name given in the certificate.
