The Mirrors element is used to specify "secondary" Express Servers to which a "master" Express Server synchronizes its own catalog and spatial-index configuration. For detailed information about how to set up "mirroring" with your Express Servers, see Configuring Multiple Express Servers.
The Mirrors element may have any number of child Secondary elements.
Each Secondary element specifies a unique host. It has the following editable attributes:
This attribute specifies the name or IP address of the host to which the master mirrors its catalog and spatial-index configuration.
This attribute specifies which port of the secondary host Express Server uses. This attribute is optional. If absent, Port = 80 is assumed.
This attribute specifies whether the secondary Express Server uses https. The sslstrictness
property accepts the following values:
strict
. ExpressZip connects to the Express Server WMS host via HTTPS and only accepts SSL certificates that have been signed by a trusted certificate authority.noverify
. ExpressZip connects to the Express Server WMS host via HTTPS and accepts both self-signed certificates and certificates that have been signed by a trusted certificate authority.none
. ExpressZip connects to the Express Server via HTTP.For the master Express Server to accept communication from a secondary Express Server using HTTPS, it requires an SSL certificate. Obtain a copy of the SSL certificate used by web server on the secondary Express Server, then place the certificate in the following directory:<Installation Directory>\ImageServer\etc\
For Express Server to read the certificate, the certificate must be named ca-bundle.crt
and saved in base64
encoding. If there are multiple secondary Express Servers, you must obtain a copy of each server's certificate. Then, use a text editor to concatenate the certificates into one file named ca-bundle.crt
. For more information on SSL certificates, refer to your web server's documentation.
