PingGateway 2024.11

Migrate from web container mode to standalone mode

An PingGateway .war file isn’t created or delivered from PingGateway 2024.3. Consider these points when migrating from a .war delivery to a .zip delivery.

Session replication between PingGateway instances

High-availability of sessions isn’t supported by PingGateway in the .zip delivery.

Streaming asynchronous responses and events

In ClientHandler and ReverseProxyHandler, use only the default mode of asyncBehavior:non_streaming; responses are processed when the entity content is entirely available.

If the property is set to streaming, the setting is ignored.

Connection reuse when client certificates are used for authentication

In ClientHandler and ReverseProxyHandler, use only the default mode of stateTrackingEnabled:true; when a client certificate is used for authentication, connections can’t be reused.

If the property is set to false, the setting is ignored.
