ECS File Storage

When running Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare in ECS, the local file system of each container is ephemeral, so certain Mirth® Connect features do not work as usual. Installing extensions, installing custom JAR files into the server-launcher-lib folder, and using a shared keystore across the cluster will not work without additional configuration. To use these features, we recommend storing the appropriate files in S3 and setting environment variables that tell the containers where to download the files from.

SSL Manager User Guide

Installation

The SSL Manager extension is installed like any other Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare extension. This can be done through the Mirth® Connect Administrator in the Extensions view or by extracting the contents of the provided ZIP file into the extensions directory inside the Mirth® Connect installation directory. For older versions of NextGen® Connect Integration Engine, the plugin can be installed via Plugins Extension Manager. Note: After restarting the server, make sure that you launch the Mirth® Connect Administrator by selecting the Launch Mirth® Connect Administrator button and not using a previously downloaded JNLP file. Note that if you are upgrading from version 3.0.3 or earlier, when you restart the server after installing the SSL Manager, any connectors using SSL may not yet work correctly as additional configuration is needed. For details on installing an extension, see Installing a New Extension in the official NextGen Connect User Guide on the Success Community.
