Starting the OKS HTTP gateway

To accept requests using different protocols, the OpenKeyServer uses gateways connected to a database server and translating its replies into a format understandable by remote clients. One of those gateways is the HTTP gateway providing access to the database server through the HTTP protocol.

To start the OKS HTTP gateway, just execute the following commands:

# cd /usr/local/oks/bin
# ./oks_http /usr/local/oks/etc/oks_http.conf

This gateway will automatically run into the background and will use the configuration file /usr/local/oks/etc/oks_http.conf. Error messages will be printed on the standard error stream or through the syslog service.
