CSP Gateway Configuration Guide - InterSystems Documentation

Atypical Options for IIS6 or Earlier
Follow the instructions for the Recommended Option with the exception that the following executables should be registered
as allowed for the CSP Gateway instead of CSPms.dll and CSPmsSys.dll.
• CSPcms.dll
• nph-CSPcgi.exe
• nph-CSPcgiSys.exe
To Prohibit Access to CSP
Mark the following executables as prohibited:
• CSPcms.dll
• nph-CSPcgi.exe
• nph-CSPcgiSys.exe
To Prohibit Access to the CSP Gateway Systems Management Portal
Mark the following executables as prohibited:
• nph-CSPcgi.exe
• nph-CSPcgiSys.exe
To Prohibit Access to the CSP Gateway Runtime Module
Mark the following executable as prohibited: CSPcms.dll
A.3.2.3 Operating and Managing the Gateway with ISAPI and NSD
This connectivity option depends on the CSP Gateway Network Service Daemon (NSD).
1. Start the CSP NSD as described in “Operating the Network Service Daemon (NSD)”.
2. Restart Apache after making changes to its configuration file (httpd.conf).
The order in which you start Apache and the NSD is unimportant.
3. To access the CSP Gateway Systems Management Portal, point your browser at one of the following locations.
Although CSP pages are served through the higher-performing module (mod_csp.so), the CSP Web Gateway Management
Page is accessed through the CGI module dedicated to this purpose (nph-CSPcgiSys).
http://localhost:/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw
http://localhost:/csp-bin/nph-CSPcgiSys
If you see an Unauthorized User error message, refer to the section on security considerations.
The CSP engine is automatically invoked for requested files that contain a .csp, .cls, or .zen extension. For example:
http://localhost:/csp/samples/menu.csp
A.3.3 Atypical Option 2: IIS and CGI Modules with NSD (nph-CSPcgi.exe)
If you are using the CGI modules with the IIS web server with the NSD, follow the directions in this section:
In most cases, the all-inclusive ISAPI-based solution (Option 1) is the option of choice, and is the implementation that
gives the best performance. The CGI/NSD hybrid is useful for cases where it is necessary, for operational reasons, to
manage the Gateway independently of the hosting web server, for example, if multiple instances of the web server are to
