Configuring Consumers
The consumers table can be accessed via Edit Driver/Plugin Options action of Distributed Architecture plugin's global configuration context.
List of outgoing connections to platform servers to that the local server will expose its selected contexts and context sub-trees by attaching them to context trees of these remote servers. Once this provider server connects to a remote consumer server, the latter finds a record in its Providers table by matching the remote provider Name with the local consumer Name. Settings of the matched remote Provider will be used to attach local contexts to the remote context tree.
Every consumer has the following properties:
Name. Name of the provider to associate with. Must match the Name of a providers table entry on the remote consumer server. Name must follow context naming conventions.
Address. Address of consumer server.
Port. Port number on consumer server to connect to.
Use Compression. Enables data compression between servers.
Certificate Trust Policy. Defines how to verify certificates provided via an SSL/TLS connection.
Certificate. Alias of an SSL/TLS certificate to use for authentication. The certificate with that alias must exist in the server's client certificate storage.
