You can use VG Identity Server to configure a private connection for your application using Https, Http & GRPC via winconsole. Below are the steps for the same.


Step 1: Configure your VisualGuard Identity Server.


Note: If you want to leverage the performance using GRPC, you need to configure the parameters of VisualGuard Identity Server as shown below. (These settings are available on the configuration of Identity Server, quick links given above)

  • Is GRPC Enabled: Enable the button to activate
  • Is GRPCWeb Enabled: Enable the button to activate as it makes the private service compatible with http 1.1
  • GRPC Port: Mention the Port no. on which Grpc service will be running

Step 2: After successfully configuring Visual Guard Identity Server, you need to generate the Visual Guard Configuration files as shown below.

  2. Select your Application
  3. Right click –> Click on Generate VG configuration files

4. Click on the toogle below to enable the switch to private connection

5. Once you enable the toogle, you will see a URL liner added on the settings list, enter the identity server URL and click OK.
