Requirements

System Requirements

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (or Windows 8.1) and later

  • NGINX web server (1.20 and later)

  • PostgreSQL database (11 and later)

  • UDMG distribution files for the different modules:

    • UDMG Admin UI

    • UDMG Authentication Proxy

    • UDMG Server (Waarp Gateway)

    • UDMG Agent Proxy, this module is optional 

  • An account with administrative privileges for the installation.
  • Network connectivity via TCP/IP.
  • Approximately 100 megabytes of disk space for the installation. More disk space is required for log files.
  • A dedicated account for the execution of the UDMG components, with write access to the storage location for the files that will be managed by UDMG.
  • WinSX (https://github.com/winsw/winsw/releases/tag/v2.11.0) for service management, optional.

Database Space Requirements

Following the initialization of the Universal Data Mover Gateway database, the initial table space size will be approximately 10MB.

Based on calculations using data from all transfer types, each file transfer consumes approximately 2KB of database space. You should estimate space requirements for your data based on your expected number of file transfers per day and the duration for retaining history and activity data before purging.

Installing and Configuring the Components

PostgreSQL Database

  1. Create a blank database on the server. An already existing database can be used, but this is not recommended.

  2. Add a user that will be used as the owner of the related tables but also to authenticate with the server.
    In order to install or perform upgrades, this database user will require DDL (Data Definition Language) permission in the database during the installation or the upgrade.
    Once the install or upgrade has been completed successfully, the configured database user requires only DML (Data Manipulation Language) permissions.

Here is how to configure the database for a local installation where the database server is on the same host. For multi-node installation please refer to your database administrator.

Note: The following steps require Administrator privilege, be sure that you have the correct access before continuing.

  • Install a PostgreSQL database server.

  • Once the installation is complete, initialize the PostgreSQL database.

  • Start the PostgreSQL Server:

For example, from the Service Management Console management:

Image Removed

  • Create a user for UDMG Waarp Gateway

Login as PostgreSQL user, start the PostgreSQL Console (psql) and create the database user:

Image Removed

Panel

postgres=# create database mft_waarp_gateway;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# create user mft_waarp_gateway_user with encrypted password 'mft_waarp_gateway_password';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# grant all privileges on database mft_waarp_gateway to mft_waarp_gateway_user;
GRANT

Finally change the pg_hba.conf, to allow database connection with password.

For example, for a system where the database server is on the same host as the UDMG server, by changing this line from:

Panel

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident

to:

Panel

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 scram-sha-256

For a system where the database server is on the same subnet as the UDMG server, change it to:

Panel

host all all samenet scram-sha-256

The exact configuration depends on the OS and database version, on the preferred security settings, and on the system architecture.

The location of the pg_hba.conf can be returned by PostgreSQL Console (psql):

Panel

postgres=# SHOW hba_file;

The current password encryption method can be returned by PostgreSQL Console (psql):

Panel

postgres=# SHOW password_encryption;

NGINX Server

Note: The following steps require Administrator privileges, be sure that you have the correct access before to continue.

  • Install NGINX (see nginx for Windows), for example under C:\UDMG\nginx.

  • Run the following command to check the main NGINX configuration file:

Panel

C:\UDMG\nginx> nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file C:\UDMG\nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file C:\UDMG\nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successfully

Create a directory under the configuration folder called "enabled" and add an include directive in the main configuration file inside the http section. For example:

Panel

http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

include "C:/MFT/nginx/conf/enabled/*.conf";

  • Create a configuration file mft.conf under this directory (normally C:\UDMG\nginx\conf\enabled):

...

server {
    listen        8080;
    server_name   localhost;

    access_log    logs//mft.access.log;

    location /service/ {
      proxy_pass  http://mft_auth_proxy/;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
        root      mft;
    }
}

  • Validate that the configuration is correct with the following command:
Panel

C:\UDMG\nginx> nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file C:\UDMG\nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file C:\UDMG\nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successfully

  • Create the Root directory under the NGINX main directory called mft:
Panel

C:\UDMG\nginx> mkdir mft

  • Start NGINX
Panel

# start nginx

  • Check that the HTTP server was started and is running, for example with the curl command:

Panel

C:\>curl.exe http://localhost:8080
<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.23.0</center>
</body>
</html>

This error (403) is excepted, since we don't have any asset deployed.

Notes:

  • For configuring HTTPS and HTTP redirection, please refer to the web server documentation (Configuring HTTPS servers).
  • Paths in an NGINX configuration file must be specified in UNIX-style using forward slashes '/'.

UDMG Admin UI

  • Uncompress the tar file for MFT Admin UI, under the directory that we created during the configuration.

Panel

C:\UDMG\nginx\mft> tar -x -f mft_admin_ui-<version>.zip

  • Validate that the service is working properly with curl
Panel

UDMG Authentication Proxy

  • Create a directory C:\UDMG\MFT Auth Proxy

  • Install the binaries as mft_auth_proxy_server.exe

  • Create the configuration file C:\UDMG\MFT Auth Proxy\config.toml with the following parameters:

Panel

# Proxy Configuration
[proxy]
# Port, default "5000"
port = "5000"
# Network interface, default "0.0.0.0"
inet = "127.0.0.1"

metrics = false

# MFT Waarp Gateway Listen Protocol
protocol = "http"

[[service.local.targets]]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Hostname or IP
hostname = "localhost"
# MFT Waarp Gateway Port
port = 18080

# Service 'mft' with direct authentication on the waarp gateway
[service.mft]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Listen Protocol
protocol = "http"

[[service.mft.targets]]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Hostname or IP
hostname = "localhost"
# MFT Waarp Gateway Port
port = 18080

Configuration for LDAP Authentication

The UDMG Authentication Proxy is capable to use a LDAP Service to authenticate users for UDMG Admin UI:

...

# Service 'local' with direct authentication on the waarp gateway
[service.local]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Listen Protocol
protocol = "http"

[[service.local.targets]]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Hostname or IP
hostname = "localhost"
# MFT Waarp Gateway Port
port = 18080

...

[[service.mft.targets]]
# MFT Waarp Gateway Hostname or IP
hostname = "localhost"
# MFT Waarp Gateway Port
port = 18080

# User for Sync Password Between Ldap and Proxy
[service.mft.credential]
# Pre - Setup user under MFT Waarp Gateway
username = "ldap_sync"
password = "ldap_password"

# LDAP Configuration
[service.mft.auth.ldap]
# LDAP Server DC with OU
dn = "ou=users,dc=stonebranch,dc=com"
# LDAP Server FQDN or IP
hostname = "myldap.server.fqdn.com"
# LDAP Server pORT
port = 1389

Note

The LDAP replication requires a user with permission for creating and updating users. For example to create the 'ldap_sync' user with the command line interface:

waarp_gateway user add -u ldap_sync -p ldap_password -r 'U=rw'
In case of successful authentication on the LDAP, the user is created with default read permission in the internal UDMG database if it does not exist. Otherwise the credentials are updated in the database to allow for authentication on the REST and CLI interfaces.
