Licensing Authority
Activation Service Access
GloveGate traffic protection runs locally on each user device. License activation does not copy user prompts or local DLP data, but each device must be able to reach your Licensing Authority endpoint to activate and validate keys.
What Users Need
- 1. Install and run GloveGate on their own PC.
- 2. Enter a valid key during activation.
- 3. Reach your LA URL over network for activation checks. Example: https://license.yourdomain.com
What Not To Use
- Localhost addresses such as 127.0.0.1 for distributed users.
- Insecure default admin tokens in production.
- Unpublished/internal URLs that user PCs cannot resolve.
Go-Live Checklist
- Licensing Authority URL is publicly reachable from user devices.
- TLS/HTTPS is enabled for production traffic.
- GLOVEGATE_LA_URL on client installs points to the same production base URL.
- Firewall and reverse proxy allow requests to /license/public-key, /license/activate, and /license/validate.
- A non-default secure GLOVEGATE_ADMIN_TOKEN is configured on the LA host.
