Link to Flexera Service Gateway

Flexera Service Gateway allows interaction between separate products from Flexera.

The ability to link FlexNet Manager Suite to the Flexera Service Gateway is subject to a separate license option. If you have licensed this option (you can check using the process below), you need to configure the connection as part of your configuration process.

To complete this process, you must know credentials that can log into your Flexera Service Gateway server with administrator privileges.

To link to Flexera Service Gateway:

  1. Log into the web interface for FlexNet Manager Suite.
    Tip: Either log in from a computer other than your web application server; or if running on that server, ensure that you access the full server name (and not localhost) in the URL. The URL in your web browser is taken into account in preparing the integration file, and should not include localhost if you want to integrate with other products from Flexera.
  2. Optionally, check that you have licensed the option to link to Flexera Service Gateway:
    1. Navigate to the system menu ( in the top right corner) > FlexNet Manager Suite License.
      The Your FlexNet Manager Suite License page appears.
    2. Check the License details section.
      If you have licensed this option, FNMP API integration enabled: Yes appears in the list. If it is not visible, you cannot continue with this procedure.
  3. Navigate to the system menu > System Settings, and select the Web API tab.
    Note: This tab is available only if your enterprise has licensed the FNMP API integration option.
  4. Click each of the links in turn to download the two files, and save them to a convenient location (such as C:\temp).
    There must be network access to your Gateway server from the location where you save the files.
  5. Locate the registration tool and click to open it; or
    1. Open a Command Window, and navigate to the location where you downloaded the files.
    2. Run RegisterFlexeraServiceGateway.exe.
    The Flexera Service Gateway Registration dialog appears.
  6. Identify the Flexera Service Gateway host, the server in your enterprise where the Gateway is installed, and the Port number.
    You may use an IP address, a fully qualified domain name, or (if your DNS is correctly configured and accessible) the server's host name. The default port number is 9443.
  7. Provide the credentials for administrator access to the Gateway account.
    In the absence of any better information, try the account admin with the password password.
  8. Use the Import button to browse to the other downloaded file, webapi.config, and import it into the registration tool.
  9. Click OK.
    Registration is complete. (You do not need to repeat this registration on others of your central servers.)
