Nokia WAP and SMS gateway manual Core configuration, Variable Value Description

Chapter 3. Using the gateway

Core configuration

Configuration for Kannel MUST always include a group for general bearerbox configuration. This group is named as ’core’ in configuration file, and should be the first group in the configuration file.

As its simplest form, ’core’ group looks like this:

group = core

admin-port = 13000

admin-password = f00bar

Naturally this is not sufficient for any real use, as you want to use Kannel as an SMS gateway, or WAP gateway, or both. Thus, one or more of the optional configuration variables are used. In following list (as in any other similar lists), all mandatory variables are marked with (m), while conditionally mandatory (variables which must be set in certain cases) are marked with (c).

Table 3-1. Core Group Variables
Variable	Value	Description
group (m)	core	This is a mandatory variable
		The port number in which the
		bearerbox listens to HTTP
		administration commands. It is
		NOT the same as the HTTP port
		of the local www server, just
		invent any port, but it must be
		over 1023 unless you are running
		Kannel as a root process (not
admin-port (m)	port-number	recommended)
		If set to true a SSL-enabled
		administration HTTP server will
		be used instead of the default
		unsecure plain HTTP server. To
		access the administration pacges
		you will have to use a HTTP
		client that is capable of talking to
		such a server. Use the "https://"
		scheme to access the secured
admin-port-ssl (o)	bool	HTTP server. Defaults to "no".
		Password for HTTP
		administration commands (see
admin-password (m)	string	below)
		Password to request Kannel
		status. If not set, no password is
		required, and if set, either this or
status-password	string	admin-password can be used
