<strong>Liaison</strong> ECS <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />
TECHnICAL brIEF<br />
<strong>Liaison</strong> ECS <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is an easy to configure proxy server<br />
that allows safe connectivity via HTTP or FTP from outside of your<br />
network to an ECS server running in the safe-side of your network.<br />
ECS <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Server</strong> supports a variety of security protocols<br />
including FTP over SSL, HTTP over SSL, and AS2. Installed in<br />
the DMZ, and configured to connect to the safe-side of your<br />
network via a secure and authenticated channel, ECS <strong>Gateway</strong><br />
<strong>Server</strong> prevents outside connections directly to your internal<br />
network, as well as prevents sensitive data from residing in your<br />
DMZ. Configuring ECS <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is easy, and done via an<br />
ECS client running in the safe-side off the network. Sessions can<br />
be logged centrally for auditing and troubleshooting. A status<br />
monitor application installed on the proxy server shows active<br />
and historical connectivity in the DMZ for monitoring.<br />
Features<br />
• Multiple instances provide scalability,<br />
redundancy, load balancing<br />
• Multiple authentication mechanisms:<br />
• Payload is streamed through DMZ<br />
• Add-on to ECS<br />
• Zero holes through firewall from DMZ to internal network<br />
• Trading partner configuration received from ECS in<br />
internal network<br />
Architecture<br />
The ECS <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is an add-on module for ECS. It serves<br />
to begin and terminate internet file transfer protocols. It accepts<br />
socket connections from ECS on a secure socket connection.<br />
Unauthorized connections to the back channel are not permitted.<br />
All socket sessions between ECS and Proxy are through SSL. The<br />
Proxy does not establish socket connections with ECS. Privacy data<br />
associated with trading partners is not stored by the Proxy: Client<br />
key material, user accounts, and passwords are forwarded to the<br />
Proxy from ECS. Files are streamed through the Proxy. Files are<br />
not stored by the Proxy.<br />
