Configuring an administrative endpoint

The Bridge requires configuration objects, such as those for connections and forwarders. You can set up the configuration by using a special REST APIs-based admin endpoint.

To use the admin REST APIs, you must set up the admin endpoint in advance. There are two ways to set up the admin endpoint. One is to use environment variables and the other is to modify the Bridge configuration file.

Whichever method you choose, the runtime will get the configuration information to set up the admin endpoint when it starts up.

Open the /var/imabridge/bridge.cfg file and specify the admin endpoint information.
In the same file, provide the configuration information for the connections and forwarders.
