To install MOVEit Gateway in a MOVEit Transfer web farm, first create the MOVEit Transfer web farm as per the MOVEit Transfer documentation.

For each web farm node, provision a separate Windows computer to run MOVEit Gateway for that node.

Install and Configure MOVEit Gateway

For each web farm node:
  1. Run the MOVEit Gateway installer on that node's MOVEit Gateway server.
  2. Configure the tunnel for MOVEit Gateway on the MOVEit Transfer web farm node via the Transfer Config Utility, on the Gateway tab.

SSH/SFTP Key Pair Requirements for Web Farms

In a MOVEit Gateway Web Farm configuration, it may be necessary to export/import an SSH keypair from MOVEit Gateway for import on another Gateway server. To complete this process, the Keystore Explorer (http://keystore-explorer.org/downloads.html) third-party application is required, and the Java Runtime environment must be downloaded on to the Gateway server.

Export the Gateway Proxy SSH/SFTP Key Pair
To export the SSH key pair from the primary Gateway node:
  1. Log in to the Gateway Manager on the Gateway server.
  2. Click on the SETTINGS tab in the Gateway Manager interface.
  3. Scroll down to find the KeyStore and TrustStore Password Reset section.
  4. Enter new passwords for both the Keystore and TrustStore. Make a secure note of these passwords for future use.
  5. Click Update Passwords to apply changes. A confirmation popup will appear.
  6. Open the Keystore Explorer application, and click Open an Existing KeyStore.
  7. Navigate to the Gateway KeyStore, which is by default C:\ Program Files\MOVEit\MOVEit Gateway\keys.
  8. Double click keystore.jks. When prompted for a password, use the Keystore password set in step 4.
  9. Locate the SFTP keypair in the list, right-click it, and choose Export > Export Keypair .
  10. Enter the keystore password and click OK.
  11. To export the keypair, select the format PKC#12, provide a password for the exported file, and the export location. Click Export.
Import the SSH/SFTP Key Pair on Additional Nodes
To import the SFTP key pair on another Gateway server:
  1. On the Keys and Certs page, click Import.
  2. Drag a key file (.pfx or .p12) into the boxed area or click to browse and locate the file. A single .pfx or .p12 file may contain multiple keys.
  3. Enter the password for the key file.
  4. Click Import. After successful import, the new key displays in the Keys list.
For more information about importing keys, see Import Keys.
Apply the Imported SSH/SFTP Key to the SSH Proxy
  1. Log in to the MOVEit Gateway Manager on the target server where the SSH keypair was imported.
  2. Navigate to the SSH proxy configuration section and stop the currently running SSH proxy service.
  3. Select the SSH proxy and click Edit to modify its settings.
  4. In the SSH Key drop-down menu, choose the key that was imported during the keypair import process.
  5. Click Save to apply the updated configuration.
  6. Start the SSH proxy.
