Configure Gateway

Use this section to configure how Akeyless Gateway authenticates, secures transport, protects encryption material, serves secrets during outages, and integrates with operational tooling.

Configuration is typically done after deployment and adjusted over time as security, compliance, and platform requirements evolve.

Access Gateway Settings (UI)

Use the Gateway Configuration Manager to access Gateway settings from the UI:

Open the Akeyless SaaS Console at https://console.akeyless.io and sign in.
Or, if needed, open the Gateway Console endpoint at <gateway-protocol>://<gateway-host>:8000/console. For example, https://gateway.example.com:8000/console.
In the Console, open the Gateway tab and select the relevant Gateway.
Select Manage Gateway to open and change Gateway settings.

To see a Gateway in the Gateway list and use Manage Gateway, the user must have Gateway-scoped administrative permission (scope or all). Without this permission scope, the Gateway is not visible in the list, and the user cannot manage it.

Use HTTPS for remote management whenever possible.

For permission requirements, see Gateway Authentication and Access.

For inbound port and endpoint behavior, including Configure App deprecation and redirect details, see Gateway Network Connectivity.
