- The Indy "Corporate Firewall Problem" and the idea of a Proxy Server on Nodes? Kim Ebert
- Core issue: A mobile wallet user using a Corporate WiFi may find that they can't get to an Indy ledger because all but 80/443 ports and HTTP/S protocols are blocked
- Discussion/Options paper: https://hackmd.io/@n5FW6jwuRfCgchBDNWR3VQ/H1kNlKpmo
- Question: Is it viable to have each Indy Node also listen on port 80/443 for HTTP/S requests and arrange to have them processed?
- Option: Receive on HTTP(S) and send on to local ZMQ instance as if coming from outside.
- Answer: We think it is probably not viable, as mobile agents require HTTPS. As such, each Steward would have to get a IP-based SSL Certificate. Technically doable, but getting everyone through that is really not practical. The cost of the certificates and maintaining them would be ugly.
- Option: Add a DIDComm agent to every node, and use DIDComm to send the messages
- Similar to using HTTP(S), but use a DIDComm message. Since Mobile Agents would be using a mediator, the DIDComm message would flow through that, and the HTTPS issue would not matter. This is almost easy, but... There is no encryption public key in the genesis file, so that needs to be retrieved from somewhere else...
