Multiple Knox gateways?

avatar
Contributor

Hello,

Can I have multiple Knox gateways each bound to a different AD?

I got one Knox gateway authenticating to an AD and it works perfectly fine. I'd like to setup another gateway but point it to another AD. Do I need to duplicate <topology>, <gateway> or <provider>?

Thanks.

Running each topology on its own Gateway instance is fine, but it's not necessary. You can use a single Knox Gateway instance and simply create a separate topology per-AD.

Say you have 2 topologies, ad1 and ad2, then you can connect using:

https://knox-host:8443/gateway/ad1/<service>/.

https://knox-host:8443/gateway/ad2/<service>/.
