Configure Endpoint

Note: You cannot perform this step remotely. You must be on the MOVEit Gateway server to set up the first Endpoint.
  1. Open the web browser Gateway Configuration interface: https://localhost:portnumber, where portnumber is the port you selected during the Gateway Server installation. This is typically 9443.
  2. Enter the following endpoint information to start pairing the MOVEit Transfer server.
    • IP Address: The IP address should be 127.0.0.1, which will route traffic across the SSH tunnel to the MOVEit Transfer server. Do NOT use the actual IP address of the MOVEit Transfer server.
    • Port (5443 is the default)
    • Expected Host Name (optional): The expected host name is checked against the host name given by the Transfer Server. If the expected host is blank, the Host Name Verification Policy must be set to Allow All.
    • Host Name Verification Policy:
      • Default: The server you connect to must have a cert that matches one of the hostnames listed. A wildcard can occur in the common name (CN), and in any of the subject-alts.
      • Allow All: Allows you to connect to any server without performing a hostname check. For testing purposes only - do not use in a production environment.
    • Virtual Path (optional): Enter the virtual path if you've set up MOVEit Transfer to run as a virtual directory in IIS.
    • Add/Edit SSH Key (optional): Add or edit the public SSH Tunnel Authentication Key which is managed by MOVEit Transfer. This key is located on the Gateway tab MOVEit Transfer server Config Utility.
      Note: The Add/Edit SSH Key is optional only for the small number of users not utilizing the SSH tunnel. For example, those using Gateway as a reverse proxy to a publicly available MOVEit Transfer sever or using the old tunnel.
  3. Click Submit.

Verifying

The Gateway configuration verifies the following information:

  • Connection
  • SSL Certificate
  • MOVEit Transfer Server Endpoint validation
  • Gateway license validated
  • Login to MOVEit Transfer Server
  1. Before authenticating, you may be asked to review the certificate to ensure it is appropriate for the MOVEit Transfer server. To proceed, click Trust. To start again, click Reset Endpoint.
  2. Enter your MOVEit Transfer Server credentials to verify the endpoint.
  3. Click Submit.

Ready to Login

  1. When the endpoint is verified, click Login to Gateway.

    You can Re-Verify or Delete the Endpoint from the sign in screen. You might need to do this if the MOVEit Transfer server's certificate identity changes or the MOVEit Transfer server location moves from one machine to another.

Next, Configure Endpoint and Proxies.
