60User Manual v16.2.1 ─ 01
The SSL proxy server certificate is evaluated by the gateprotect Firewall. Under "Han-
dling" , decide what to do if the certificate is not trusted:
●
Use invalid certificate (invalidate connection) – a different inva-
lid certificate is presented to the client,
●
Use valid certificate (validate connection) – even though the con-
nection is distrusted, a valid SSL Proxy Certificate Authority is presented to the cli-
ent, or
●
Block the connection – the connection is blocked and no traffic is possible.
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel allow you to shut ( "Close" ) the edi-
tor panel as long as no changes have been made and to store ( "Save" ) or to discard
( "Reset" ) your changes.
Click "
Activate" in the toolbar at the top of the desktop to apply your configuration
changes.
3.4.2.5 High Availability
"High Availability" allows two independent gateprotect Firewall systems to be connec-
ted in a master/slave configuration that provides failover capability. If the master
machine becomes unavailable, the standby (slave) machine assumes its duties.
The master and slave systems are connected via a Cluster Interconnect cable that
allows them to communicate with one another and monitor the status of the paired sys-
tem. If the slave system fails to detect a »heartbeat« signal from the master, it takes
over the role of the master system (in the event of power outage, hardware failure/
shutdown, and so forth). All communication via the Cluster Interconnect cable is
secured via IPsec.
The following figure illustrates a typical network environment with a redundant master/
slave configuration for High Availability.
