Gatekeeper
The web server application is called a gatekeeper because it serves two important functions:
Message Transformation
The gatekeeper application converts HTTP requests into DCOM calls, and converts DCOM return values into HTTP responses.
Security
The gatekeeper application decides which clients are allowed to make calls, and which 4GL SCPs they are permitted to call. The security decisions are unique to each customer and each application, so the sample gatekeeper source (provided in the ingres\orjava and ingres\ordotnet directories) is only an example and a starting template. You must modify the example gatekeeper application to meet your own security requirements.
The gatekeeper, which is designed for use directly out of the box, is provided in the Gatekeeper2 subdirectory of the directories mentioned above. For more information about configuring and using this gatekeeper, see the readme.txt files contained in these directories.
