Messaging Service (msgsvc)

The Messaging Service (msgsvc) is responsible for handling communication within Bravura Security Fabric .

It cannot be managed via the Manage the system (PSA) module, but it should be monitored as it can impact the system's performance, especially under heavy use.

The Messaging Service is configured and started with the component hid_messaging_service.

The ports configured for the Messaging Service are restricted to only communicating within the local machine (127.0.0.1). You can see which ports the service is bound to in the registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\<instance>\msgsvc. Alternatively, from the Manage the system module, navigate to Manage external data store > hid_global_configuration. Check the "value" for the following entries:

  • "namespace=hid_messaging_service", "setting=control_port"

  • "namespace=hid_messaging_service", "setting=client_port"

  • "namespace=hid_messaging_service", "setting=worker_port"

The Messaging Service requires the API Service (idapi) to run successfully.
