Configuring your Node
Accepting Connections from Trusted and Untrusted Peers
Your node will listen for messages from both trusted and untrusted peers. You must configure your node to listen via the --peer-listen-uri
parameter to the consensus service.
An example peer-listen-uri
is the following:
mcp://0.0.0.0:8443/?tls-chain=/certs/your-tls.crt&tls-key=/certs/your-tls.key
The components of the URI and their functions are:
Scheme
mcp
or mcp-insecure
Determines whether to use tls in the connection to the peer. Most often, these will be mcp
.
If you configure to terminate TLS in the consensus service by using the mcp scheme, you will also need to provide the tls-chain
and tls-key
query parameters.
Address and Port
Address of node and peer listening port
Address and listening port of the consensus peer.
tls-chain query parameter
Path to local certificate chain
Used to terminate TLS in the consensus-service.
tls-key query parameter
Path to local certificate keyfile
Used to terminate TLS in the consensus-service.
