# Controller Configuration Parameters ## OWGW Specific Parameters ### Websocket parameters This is the crucial section. I bet that 97.4% of all your problems will come from here, and it's boring. So put some good music on, give the kids the iPad, get a cup of coffee, and pay attention. Every field will be explained. ```properties ucentral.websocket.host.0.backlog = 500 ucentral.websocket.host.0.rootca = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/root.pem ucentral.websocket.host.0.issuer = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/issuer.pem ucentral.websocket.host.0.cert = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/websocket-cert.pem ucentral.websocket.host.0.key = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/websocket-key.pem ucentral.websocket.host.0.clientcas = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/clientcas.pem ucentral.websocket.host.0.cas = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/cas ucentral.websocket.host.0.address = * ucentral.websocket.host.0.port = 15002 ucentral.websocket.host.0.security = strict ucentral.websocket.host.0.key.password = mypassword ucentral.websocket.maxreactors = 20 ``` #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.backlog This is the number of concurrent devices you are expecting to call all at once. Not the current number of devices. This is how many will connect in the same exact second. Take the total number of devices you have and divide by 100. That's a good rule of thumb. Never go above 500. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.rootca This is the root file as supplied by Digicert. You can find it [here](https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/wlan-cloud-ucentralgw/blob/main/certificates/root.pem) #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.issuer This is the issuer file as supplied by Digicert. You can find it [here](https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/wlan-cloud-ucentralgw/blob/main/certificates/issuer.pem) #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.cert This is a `pem` file that you will receive from Digicert for the gateway itself. This is the certificate for the gateway. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.key This is a `pem` file that you will receive from Digicert for the gateway itself. The is the private key for the gateway. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.clientcas This is a `pem` file that contains both the issuer and the root CA certificates. You can find it You can find it [here](https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/wlan-cloud-ucentralgw/blob/main/certificates/clientcas.pem) #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.cas This is a directory where you will copy your own `cert.pem`, the `root.pem`, and the `issuer.pem` files. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.address Leve this a `*` in the case you want to bind to all interfaces on your gateway host or select the address of a single interface. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.port Leave to 15002 for now. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.security Leave this as strict for now for devices. #### ucentral.websocket.host.0.key.password If you key file uses a password, please enter it here. #### ucentral.websocket.maxreactors A single reactor can handle between 1000-2000 devices. Never leave this smaller than 5 or larger than 50. ### File uploader parameters Certain commands may require the Access Point to upload a file into the Controller. For this reason, there is a special embedded HTTP server to receive these files. ```properties openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.backlog = 100 openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.rootca = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-ca.pem openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.security = relaxed openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.address = * openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.name = ucentral.dpaas.arilia.com openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.port = 16003 openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.cert = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-cert.pem openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.key = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-key.pem openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.key.password = mypassword openwifi.fileuploader.path = $OWGW_ROOT/uploads openwifi.fileuploader.maxsize = 10000 openwifi.fileuploader.uri = https://ucentral.dpaas.arilia.com:16003 ``` #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.backlog This is the number of concurrent REST API calls that maybe be kept in the backlog for processing. That's a good rule of thumb. Never go above 500. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.rootca This is the root file of your own certificate CA in `pem` format. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.cert This is your own server certificate in `pem` format.. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.key This is the private key associated with your own certificate in `pem` format. #### openwifi.intfileuploaderernal.host.0.address Leve this a `*` in the case you want to bind to all interfaces on your gateway host or select the address of a single interface. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.port The port on which the REST API server is listening. By default, this is 16003. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.security Leave this as `relaxed` for now for devices. #### openwifi.fileuploader.host.0.key.password If you key file uses a password, please enter it here. #### openwifi.fileuploader.path This is the location where the files will be stored temporarily before processing. This `path` must exist. #### openwifi.fileuploader.maxsize This is the maximum uploaded file size. The default maximum size if 10MB. This size is in KB. #### openwifi.fileuploader.uri This is the URI that will be passed to the AP. You must make sure that the AP can resolve this URI. ### OUI Service The controller has a built-in OUI resolver for MAC addresses. The GW will periodically load this file to obtain the latest. This is ths URI for this file. ```properties oui.download.uri = https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt ``` ### Data-model Source The gateway can make use of the latest uCentral data-model or use the built-in model. These 2 parameters allow you to choose which method you want. If you select the internal method, the URI is ignored. If for some reason you choose the on-line data-model from the URI and the URI is not reachable, the system will fall back on the internal model. ```properties ucentral.datamodel.internal = true ucentral.datamodel.uri = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Telecominfraproject/wlan-ucentral-schema/main/ucentral.schema.json ``` ### Command Manager The command manager is responsible for managing command sent and responses received with the APs. Several parameters allow you to fine tune its behaviour. Unless you have some particular reasons to change tem the defaults are usually just fine. ```properties command.timeout = 14400 command.retry = 120 command.janitor = 120 command.queue = 30 ``` #### command.timeout How long will the GW wait in seconds before considering a commands has timed out. #### command.retry How long between command retries. #### command.janitor How long between outstanding RPC clean-ups. #### command.queue How long should te gateway wait between running its queue. ### IP to Country Parameters The controller has the ability to find the location of the IP of each Access Points. This uses an external IP location service. Currently, the controller supports 3 services. Please note that these services will require to obtain an API key or token, and these may cause you to incur additional fees. Here is the list of the services supported: - ip2location: ip2location.com - ipdata: ipdata.co - ipinfo: ipinfo.io ```properties iptocountry.default = US iptocountry.provider = ipinfo #iptocountry.provider = ipdata #iptocountry.provider = ip2location iptocountry.ipinfo.token = iptocountry.ipdata.apikey = iptocountry.ip2location.apikey = ``` #### iptocountry.default This is the country code to be used if no information can be found at one of the providers or you have not configured any of the providers. #### iptocountry.provider You must select onf of the possible services and the fill the appropriate token or api key parameter. ### Provisioning link This parameter tells the controller how to behave when it receives a request from a device for the first time. In this case, we tell the controller to look at the provisioning service first, then apply any local configurations. ```properties autoprovisioning.process = prov,default ``` ### Restricted Device Signature Manager If are using restricted devices, then you can include different keys for each vendor who provided you with their information. This allows the controller to automatically sign requests to the device. You can have as many vendors as it is necessary. ```properties signature.manager.0.key.public = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/signatures/test1-public-key.pem signature.manager.0.key.private = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/signatures/test1-private-key.pem signature.manager.0.vendor = test1 signature.manager.1.key.public = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/signatures/test2-public-key.pem signature.manager.1.key.private = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/signatures/test2-private-key.pem signature.manager.1.vendor = test2 ``` ### OWLS Simulator ID If you plan on using OWLS (OpenWifi Load Simulator), then you will need to put your Simulator ID right here. This ID must be obtained from TIP. ```properties simulatorid = 53494dFFEEDD ``` ### RTTY Service The controller comes with the ability to run an RTTY service. The service can either be internal (the prefered choice) or external. If you decide to use the internal RTTY, the you only need to specify `rtty.internal = true`. If you choose to use an external RTTY, you must specify the remainder of the parameters. ```properties rtty.internal = true rtty.enabled = true rtty.server = rtty-tip.arilia.com rtty.port = 5912 rtty.token = 96181c567b4d0d98c50f127230068fa8 rtty.timeout = 60 rtty.viewport = 5913 rtty.assets = $OWGW_ROOT/rtty_ui ``` ### RADIUS proxy config If you are going to use the buil-in RADIUS proxy service, you need to enable this parameter and provide the ports for you PROXY. ```properties radius.proxy.enable = false radius.proxy.accounting.port = 1813 radius.proxy.authentication.port = 1812 radius.proxy.coa.port = 3799 radsec.keepalive = 120 ``` ### Auto Archiver Parameters The auto archiver is responsible for removing all stale data. The default is to remove old data after 7 days. ```properties archiver.enabled = true archiver.schedule = 03:00 archiver.db.0.name = healthchecks archiver.db.0.keep = 7 archiver.db.1.name = statistics archiver.db.1.keep = 7 archiver.db.2.name = devicelogs archiver.db.2.keep = 7 archiver.db.3.name = commandlist archiver.db.3.keep = 7 ``` ## Generic OpenWiFi SDK parameters ### REST API External parameters These are the parameters required for the configuration of the external facing REST API server ```properties openwifi.restapi.host.0.backlog = 100 openwifi.restapi.host.0.security = relaxed openwifi.restapi.host.0.rootca = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-ca.pem openwifi.restapi.host.0.address = * openwifi.restapi.host.0.port = 16004 openwifi.restapi.host.0.cert = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-cert.pem openwifi.restapi.host.0.key = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-key.pem openwifi.restapi.host.0.key.password = mypassword ``` #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.backlog This is the number of concurrent REST API calls that maybe be kept in the backlog for processing. That's a good rule of thumb. Never go above 500. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.rootca This is the root file of your own certificate CA in `pem` format. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.cert This is your own server certificate in `pem` format.. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.key This is the private key associated with your own certificate in `pem` format. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.address Leve this a `*` in the case you want to bind to all interfaces on your gateway host or select the address of a single interface. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.port The port on which the REST API server is listening. By default, this is 16002. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.security Leave this as `relaxed` for now for devices. #### openwifi.restapi.host.0.key.password If you key file uses a password, please enter it here. ### REST API Intra microservice parameters The following parameters describe the configuration for the inter-microservice HTTP server. You may use the same certificate/key you are using for your extenral server or another certificate. ```properties openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.backlog = 100 openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.security = relaxed openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.rootca = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-ca.pem openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.address = * openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.port = 17004 openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.cert = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-cert.pem openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.key = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-key.pem openwifi.internal.restapi.host.0.key.password = mypassword ``` #### openwifi.internal.host.0.backlog This is the number of concurrent REST API calls that maybe be kept in the backlog for processing. That's a good rule of thumb. Never go above 500. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.rootca This is the root file of your own certificate CA in `pem` format. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.cert This is your own server certificate in `pem` format.. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.key This is the private key associated with your own certificate in `pem` format. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.address Leve this a `*` in the case you want to bind to all interfaces on your gateway host or select the address of a single interface. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.port The port on which the REST API server is listening. By default, this is 17002. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.security Leave this as `relaxed` for now for devices. #### openwifi.internal.host.0.key.password If you key file uses a password, please enter it here. ### Microservice information These are different Microservie parameters. Following is a brief explanation. ```properties openwifi.service.key = $OWGW_ROOT/certs/restapi-key.pem openwifi.service.key.password = mypassword openwifi.system.data = $OWGW_ROOT/data openwifi.system.uri.private = https://localhost:17004 openwifi.system.uri.public = https://ucentral.dpaas.arilia.com:16002 openwifi.system.uri.ui = https://ucentral-ui.arilia.com openwifi.security.restapi.disable = false openwifi.system.commandchannel = /tmp/app.ucentralfms openwifi.autoprovisioning = true ``` #### openwifi.service.key From time to time, the microservice must encrypt information. This is the key it should use. You may use the same keey as you RESTAPI or your server. #### openwifi.service.key.password The password for the `openwifi.service.key` #### openwifi.system.data The location of system data. This path must exist. #### openwifi.system.uri.private The URI to reach the controller on the internal port. #### openwifi.system.uri.public The URI to reach the controller from the outside world. #### openwifi.system.uri.ui The URI of the UI to manage this service #### openwifi.security.restapi.disable This allows to disable security for internal and external API calls. This should only be used if the controller sits behind an application load balancer that will actually do TLS. Setting this to `true` disables security. #### openwifi.system.commandchannel The UNIX socket command channel used by this service. #### openwifi.autoprovisioning Allow unknown devices to be provisioned by the system. ### ALB Support In order to support an application load balancer health check verification, your need to provide the following parameters. ```properties alb.enable = true alb.port = 16102 ``` ### Kafka The controller use Kafka, like all the other microservices. You must configure the kafka section in order for the system to work. ```properties openwifi.kafka.group.id = gateway openwifi.kafka.client.id = gateway1 openwifi.kafka.enable = true openwifi.kafka.brokerlist = my_Kafka.example.com:9092 openwifi.kafka.auto.commit = false openwifi.kafka.queue.buffering.max.ms = 50 ``` ### openwifi.kafka.group.id The group ID is a single word that should identify the type of service tuning. In the case `gateway` ### openwifi.kafka.client.id The client ID is a single service within that group ID. Each participant must have a unique client ID. ### openwifi.kafka.enable Kafka should always be enabled. ### openwifi.kafka.brokerlist The list of servers where your Kafka server is running. Comma separated. ### openwifi.kafka.auto.commit Auto commit flag in Kafka. Leave as `false`. ### openwifi.kafka.queue.buffering.max.ms Kafka buffering. Leave as `50`. ### Kafka security If you intend to use SSL, you should look into Kafka Connect and specify the certificates below. ```properties penwifi.kafka.ssl.ca.location = openwifi.kafka.ssl.certificate.location = openwifi.kafka.ssl.key.location = openwifi.kafka.ssl.key.password = ``` ### DB Type The controller supports 3 types of Database. SQLite should only be used for sites with less than 100 APs or for testing in the lab. In order to select which database to use, you must set the `storage.type` value to sqlite, postgresql, or mysql. ```properties storage.type = sqlite #storage.type = postgresql #storage.type = mysql ``` ### Storage SQLite parameters Additional parameters to set for SQLite. The only important one is `storage.type.sqlite.db` which is the database name on disk. ```properties storage.type.sqlite.db = gateway.db storage.type.sqlite.idletime = 120 storage.type.sqlite.maxsessions = 128 ``` ### Storage Postgres Additional parameters to set if you select Postgres for your database. You must specify `host`, `username`, `password`, `database`, and `port`. ```properties storage.type.postgresql.maxsessions = 64 storage.type.postgresql.idletime = 60 storage.type.postgresql.host = localhost storage.type.postgresql.username = gateway storage.type.postgresql.password = gateway storage.type.postgresql.database = gateway storage.type.postgresql.port = 5432 storage.type.postgresql.connectiontimeout = 60 ``` ### Storage MySQL/MariaDB Additional parameters to set if you select mysql for your database. You must specify `host`, `username`, `password`, `database`, and `port`. ```properties storage.type.mysql.maxsessions = 64 storage.type.mysql.idletime = 60 storage.type.mysql.host = localhost storage.type.postgresql.username = gateway storage.type.postgresql.password = gateway storage.type.postgresql.database = gateway storage.type.mysql.port = 3306 storage.type.mysql.connectiontimeout = 60 ``` ### Logging Parameters The microservice provides extensive logging. If you would like to keep logging on disk, set the `logging.type = file`. If you only want console logging, `set logging.type = console`. When selecting file, `logging.path` must exist. `logging.level` sets the basic logging level for the entire controller. `logging.websocket` disables WebSocket logging. ```properties logging.type = file logging.path = $OWGW_ROOT/logs logging.level = information logging.asynch = true logging.websocket = false ```
