Cobra Web Service Gateway Settings
The right pane displays the Cobra Web Service Gateway Settings if the gateway is selected in the left pane of the tool.
Use the fields in this pane to define the Cobra Web Service endpoints that you will use for the concurrency feature so that the Cobra Web Service Gateway can identify their URLs and make the connection.
The Cobra Web Service Gateway Settings interface is described in the following tables.
Gateway Endpoint Group Box
This group box displays the address of the gateway's listening endpoint.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Host |
This field displays the host name of the gateway's listening endpoint, which is usually the machine name.
Note: When configuring this instance to use SSL, supply the Subject from Windows Server Certificate intended for Server Authentication. For more information, see
Configuring Cobra Web Service to Use Secure Socket Layers.

Protocol |
This field displays the protocol of the gateway’s listening endpoint, which can be HTTP or HTTPS.
|
Port |
This field displays the port number of the gateway's listening endpoint.
Note: You must ensure that the port number does not conflict with the port number from other endpoints in instances or other systems. The Cobra Web Service Management Tool will not validate it.

This field displays the address of the endpoint of the gateway, which is generated using the Host, Protocol, and Port settings. This setting is always read-only. Note: When using the
Concurrency feature, this is the address of the gateway’s listening endpoint to which the PM Compass Process Server must connect.
