Optional Parameters during Initial Configuration¶

In addition to the mandatory init parameters, there are also optional init parameters that can be used to set certain configuration values during the initial configuration. These options are described on this page.

Enabling the Messaging REST API in init.conf (since version 7)¶

By default, the new sedex client behaves the same as the old one, i.e. the new REST API is not enabled. In order to be able to use the new "sedex Messaging REST API" instead of the classic file system interface, the following parameters must be included during initialization phase

To enable the Messaging REST API:

File: /path/to/sedex-data/init.conf
...
MESSAGING_INTERFACE_REST_API_ENABLED=true

To route all incoming messages to the rest api:

File: /path/to/sedex-data/init.conf
...
MESSAGING_INTERFACE_SELECTOR_RULE_DEFAULT=rest-api

Possible values are "rest-api" and "file-system"

Messaging Rest API and file-system mixed

If some messages are to be received in the file-system and some via rest-api, the configuration for incoming messages is described in Configuring the Messaging REST API

Configure Messaging Rest API later on

The Messaging Rest API can be activated any time after the initial configuration (see Configuring the Messaging REST API.

Defining an outgoing HTTP proxy in init.conf¶

If an HTTP proxy is required to access the Internet, the proxy server can be configured in the init.conf file for the initial configuration phase. This configuration is then included in the generated configuration of the sedex Client.

Example:

File: /path/to/sedex-data/init.conf
...
OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_HOST=proxy.example.ch
OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_PORT=8080
OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_USER=example-user
OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_PASSWORD=1234

You have no username/password?

If no username is required, the two optional parameters OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_USER and OUTGOING_WEB_PROXY_PASSWORD can be omitted.

Configure HTTP proxy later on

An HTTP proxy can also be configured any time after the initial configuration (see Configuration Options - Available Configuration Parameters).

Disabling the sedex Webservice Proxy in init.conf¶

If the functionality of the sedex Webservice Proxy for secure access to defined Web services is not needed, it can be deactivated with the init.conf file for the initial configuration phase. This configuration is then included in the generated configuration of the sedex Client.

Example:

File: /path/to/sedex-data/init.conf
...
SEDEX_WSPROXY_START=false

Default value is true

If this parameter is missing in init.conf a default value of "true" will be set in the configuration file.

Re-enabling sedex Webservice Proxy

The sedex Webservice Proxy can be activated any time after the initial configuration (see sedex Webservice Proxy - Basic Configuration).
