Provision an instance of the Secure Gateway service on IBM Cloud.
About this task
Secure Gateway for IBM Cloud allows
the Watson Query service to establish a connection with the Remote Agent.
Procedure
- In the Secure Gateway web client,
create a gateway by clicking Add Gateway.
- Select the Destinations tab, and then select the plus
icon "+" to create a destination for the Remote Agent hostname and the data port, then
complete the following steps.
- Enter the hostname from where the Watson Query connector is going to run.
- Enter the exposed network Data port number on the host for use by the Watson Query
remote connector as listed in the port table.
- Set the destination protocol to TCP.
- Set the resource authentication to None.
Note: Do not use TLS or Resource
Mutual Authentication under the TLS Options tab. The Watson Query
Remote Agent employs its own authenticated SSL encryption of the data and does not need the Secure Gateway service to provide
encryption.
- Select the gear icon to determine the
exposed Cloud hostname:port.
- Select and then select the Secure Gateway client.
Note: When you deploy the
Secure Gateway
client, you might need to provide an access control specification the client can connect to the
Watson Query Remote Agent. See
ACL File.
