Bridge

The Bridge Windows service/Unix daemon E2E Console must be started to run services on the E2E Bridge. If your system is mainly used to run the Bridge, we recommend to configure the service/daemon to start-up automatically. This option can be set during installation of the Bridge or in the Windows Services application.

...

As long as the service E2E Console is stopped, you cannot open the E2E Bridge main page with a Web browser. After starting the service, you can manage Bridge node instances and Bridge services with the Web-based user interface by using a browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or Konqueror.

[root@gopher root]# /etc/init.de/e2econsole start
Status of E2E Console:                                           [  OK  ]

Installation Modes

The E2E Bridge supports two installation modes: the Workstation Mode and the Server Mode. For notebooks or single workstations, we recommend the workstation mode. Most of the time, this is the case when working offline, for instance, in order to study the E2E Education development tutorials. The workstation mode prevents problems if you are working offline with your notebook and no IP address is available. For all other systems (e.g. used for development, testing, and productive environments), you need to use the server mode installation.

...

During the installation, a self-signed certificate was created and will be used to encrypt the communication between members of an E2E Bridge domain and when deploying services to the Bridge.
When entering the URL of the Bridge, the web browser will display a security alert, as the Bridge runs with this self-signed security certificate, whose name may not match to the name of the site, or the certifying authority is not known by the browser. As this is a default certificate, always accept this certificate to access the Bridge.
