The gateway
The gateway is the connection between your network and Docusnap365. It consists of a Windows service that does the work and an application for registration and setup that is also called Docusnap Enterprise Gateway. It runs on a server or a VM and connects outbound to Docusnap365 over HTTPS. There are no inbound connections from the internet; only port 443 is required outbound. A gateway belongs to exactly one subscription. Any number of gateways can be registered per subscription—for separate sites or networks. Jobs. The gateway fetches its scan jobs from Docusnap365. A job set to run immediately starts right away; a scheduled job is executed by the gateway itself on its schedule—even without a browser open. It receives credentials with storage location Vault only for the duration of the run; credentials stored on the gateway never leave the gateway. Results. Every scan module writes its results to encrypted files. Once a job finishes, the gateway uploads them to the transfer storage; the backend processes them into your database. Updates. The gateway updates its scan modules itself, without a reinstall. New modules and fixes arrive without your intervention.Data flow
- The gateway scans and uploads the results to the transfer storage.
- The backend processes the results and writes them to your database.
- The web interface reads from your database and writes changes back.
- Exports and generated documents live in storage and are ready for download.
