TEXT

TEMPLATE specifies the stamp text for the SAP output jobs. In the text, variables can be specified.

The key is available for the seal-convert-pdfstamp service.

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/plossys/sapgof/stamp/TEXT

Available values: String

  • <stamp_text>

Default: The default text of PDF Stamp is used, which is contained in the following file:

  • On Windows:

    C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-convert-pdfstamp\lib\config\default.txt

  • On Linux:

    /opt/seal/seal-convert-pdfstamp/lib/config/default.txt

TIMEOUT

TIMEOUT specifies the time interval after which a conversion is aborted if it has not generated any new data. The time interval has to be specified including the unit. For the available units, refer to Units at the top of the page.

The key is available for the following services:

  • seal-convert-pdf2ps

  • seal-convert-ps2pdf

  • seal-convert-sapgof

  • seal-convert-pdfstamp

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/convert-pdf2ps/tag/any/TIMEOUT

  • dc/home/env/service/convert-ps2pdf/tag/any/TIMEOUT

  • dc/home/env/service/convert-sapgof/tag/any/TIMEOUT

  • dc/home/env/service/convert-pdfstamp/tag/any/TIMEOUT

Available values: String

  • <time_interval_and_unit>

Default: 2m

TLS_DIR

TLS_DIR specifies the directory containing the certificate files necessary for the secure transfer within PLOSSYS 5.

The key is available for all services.

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/any/tag/any/TLS_DIR

Available values: String

  • <dir_name>

The directory contains the following files:

  • key.pem

    File with the private key

  • cert.pem

    File with the certificate

  • ca.pem (optional)

    File with the CA certificate

Default: none

Hint - certificate files contained in delivery

The self-signed certificates contained in delivery are hard-coded. The tls directories contained in delivery only contain examples which certificate files are required and how they look like.

Hint - tls certificate fallback chain

TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR -> TLS_PADIR -> TLS_DIR -> built-in certificates

TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR

TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR specifies the directory containing the external certificate files necessary for the services handling external requests.

The key is available for the following services:

  • seal-plossysadmin

  • seal-ipp-checkin

  • seal-rest

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/seal-plossysadmin/tag/any/TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR

  • dc/home/env/service/seal-ipp-checkin/tag/any/TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR

  • dc/home/env/service/seal-rest/tag/any/TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR

Instead of setting the key for each service, it can also be specified here once and for all:

  • dc/home/env/service/any/tag/any/TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR

Available values: String

  • <dir_name>

The directory contains the following files:

  • key.pem

    File with the private key

  • cert.pem

    File with the certificate

  • ca.pem (optional)

    File with the CA certificate

Default: none

downward compatibility and fallback

For PLOSSYS Administrator, TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR replaces TLS_PADIR. TLS_PADIR will still work for the time being but should be renamed to TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR.

tls certificate fallback chain: TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR -> TLS_PADIR -> TLS_DIR -> built-in certificates

TLS_MIN_VERSION

TLS_MIN_VERSION specifies the minimum used version of the TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption protocol between PLOSSYS 5 services. The services among each other define the highest possible protocol version. Even if TLSv1.2 is set as minimum version, a higher version for the protocol can be negotiated between two services.

The key is available for all services.

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/any/tag/any/TLS_MIN_VERSION

Available values: String

  • TLSv1.2

    Use version 1.2 or higher of the TLS protocol.

  • TLSv1.3

    Version 1.3 of the TLS protocol.

Default: The default is the tls.DEFAULT_MIN_VERSION of the used Node.js version. As of PLOSSYS 5 version 5.7.0, this is TLSv1.2. Older versions than TLSv1.2 are not supported any longer.

Hint - encryption

To activate encryption, set TLS_UNPROTECTED to none.

Hint - TLS_PROTOCOL obsolet

As of PLOSSYS 5.7.0, the environment variable TLS_PROTOCOL is obsolet.

TLS_PADIR

TLS_PADIR specifies the directory containing the certificate files necessary for secure transfer with PLOSSYS Administrator.

use TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR instead

With PLOSSYS version 5.5.1.1085, TLS_PADIR has been replaced by TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR. TLS_PADIR will still work for the time being but should be renamed to TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR.

The key is available for the seal-plossysadmin service.

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/plossysadmin/tag/any/TLS_PADIR

Available values: String

  • <dir_name>

The directory contains the following files:

  • key.pem

    File with the private key

  • cert.pem

    File with the certificate

  • ca.pem (optional)

    File with the CA certificate

Default: none

Hint - certificate files contained in delivery

The self-signed certificates contained in delivery are hard-coded. The tls directories contained in delivery only contain examples which certificate files are required and how they look like.

Hint - fallback chain

TLS_EXTERNAL_DIR -> TLS_PADIR -> TLS_DIR -> built-in certificates

TLS_UNPROTECTED

TLS_UNPROTECTED specifies the encryption between the PLOSSYS 5 services.

The key is available for all services.

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/any/tag/any/TLS_UNPROTECTED

Available values: String

  • none

    All connections are encrypted via HTTPS.

  • loopback

    The local connections are not encrypted. The connections between different servers are encrypted via HTTPS.

Default: loopback

USE_ETAG

USE_ETAG specifies if the ETag handling is activated or deactivated in the services. In some cases with activated ETag handling, the services returns the HTTP status code 304 (Not Modified) erroneously. By default, the ETag handling is activated in order to reduce data traffic.

The key is available for the following services:

  • seal-rest

  • seal-plossysadmin

In Consul, the key is specified here. If the key does not yet exist, you have to create it:

  • dc/home/env/service/rest/tag/any/USE_ETAG

  • dc/home/env/service/plossysadmin/tag/any/USE_ETAG

Available values: Boolean

  • Y

    The ETag handling is activated.

  • N

    The ETag handling is deactivated.

Default: Y
