Step 4: Verifying the AppviewX Windows Gateway Installation

  1. To verify the Windows AppViewX Gateway installation on Internet Explorer, import the client authentication certificate ClientCertificateGateway.pfx, from the download package (password: appviewx).
  2. Navigate to Internet Explorer's Settings > Internet Options, and then click the Content tab.
  3. Click the Certificates button.
    The Certificates popup window opens.
  4. Click the Import button on the Certificates page.
  5. Navigate to the following URL: https://hostname:portnumber/appviewx/rest/help. For example: https://10.10.10.10:8999/appviewx/rest/help
    The page displayed confirms the accessibility and installation of the service.
    Note: In the event that a custom client authentication certificate is used, ensure that the CRL mentioned in the certificate is reachable from the AppViewX Windows Gateway hosting server.
    Note: The steps to import the client certificate will differ depending on the web browser.
  6. To register the AppView Windows Gateway with AppViewX, navigate to the AppViewX Cert+ (on the SaaS deployment) admin UI/UX, and then Settings > Certificate.
    Note: To add the AppViewX Windows Gateway for
    • Mocrosoft Enterprise CA integration, see Microsoft Enterprise CA section under chapter CERT+ Setup > Configuring CA Settings in Cert Admin guide.
    • Mocrosoft Standalone CA integration, see Microsoft Standalone CA section under chapter CERT+ Setup > Configuring CA Settings in Cert Admin guide.
    • Mocrosoft Device integrations, see Microsoft Devices Integration section under chapter CERT+ Setup in Cert Admin guide.
  7. Register the gateway using the following URL format: https://hostname:portnumber/appviewx. For example: https://10.10.10.10:8999/appviewx
    Note:
    • The AppViewX’s custom client authentication uses CRL and OCSP as proposed by Microsoft. If you choose to use Microsoft's client authentication then comment the config file as below:
      <!--<serviceCredentials> 
<clientCertificate> 
<authentication certificateValidationMode="Custom"  
customCertificateValidatorType="AppViewX.CertPlus.Service.CustomValidator,  AppViewX.CertPlus.Service" /> 
</clientCertificate> 
</serviceCredentials>-->

    • AppViewX recommends customers not to change this default authentication configuration provided by AppViewX.
