Deploying and securing applications and web services

You have two methods for deploying and securing applications and web services.

The Deployment App provides you with the interface for deploying and securing applications.

The Console App allows you to register the application and generate a CLIENT_ID and SECRET_ID for that application. These are added to the application's configuration file, and the application configuration file is included in the final package (.gar).

Why use Genero Deployment App instead of gasadmin?

Securing and unsecuring applications can only be performed by the Deployment App using the GIP. Security can not be performed by the gasadmin command tool.

In most other respects the Deployment App provides the sames services as the gasadmin command line tool because actually, the Deployment App executes the gasadmin on server side via a REST service.

For example, details of all applications and services that are deployed and/or secured in the application server can be viewed using either the Deployment App, or the gasadmin tool.

If a gar is deployed via gasadmin, it will appear in the Deployment App interface, and vice versa. For more information, go to List all deployed archives in the Genero Application Server User Guide .
