Only use Access Gateway as the load balancer. See Load balancing.
- Expand the Protected Web Resource tab.
- Enable Load Balancing By Access Gateway.
A table of hostnames and weights representing the target load balancing instances appears. This table is initially empty. Click edit to modify an entry in the table, or click delete to delete an entry.
- Choose either HTTP or HTTPS as the URL scheme. Each protected web resource that you add inherits this scheme.
- Optional. Enable and specify Host Header value.

- Click Add protected web resource.
- Enter a fully qualified hostname:port combination (for example, https://backendserver1.atko.com:7001).
- Enter a weight from 1 to 100. Enter 0 to specify that a host is disabled.
Weights represent the percentage of requests that will be routed to this host.
For example, two hosts of weights 2:1 would result in requests being routed ~66% to the host weighted 2 and ~33% to the host weighted 1.
- Click Okay.
- See Certificate use for details about certificates.
- See Certificate management for a task flow for obtaining and assigning certificates.
- Expand the Certificates tab.
By default, when you create the app, the system generates a self-signed wildcard certificate and assigns it to the app.
- Optional. Click Generate self-signed certificate. A self-signed certificate is created and automatically assigned to the app.

All apps, including the Access Gateway Admin UI console app, require a self-signed or signed certificate.
Include signed certificates wherever you terminate SSL. You can terminate SSL at Access Gateway or any other network component, like a load balancer.
If you terminate SSL at a load balancer, on the Access Gateway Admin UI console app, you also need to use a certificate that is trusted by the load balancer.
If you terminate SSL on the Access Gateway Admin UI console application, you must use a signed certificate, which must be on the Access Gateway node and be associated with the Access Gateway Admin UI console application.
The application is added and the Application list page is displayed.
