Create a peer connection
You can create and delete peer connections by launching Peering connections in your Foundry enrollment's Control Panel.
Prerequisites
You must complete the steps below before you create a peer connection:
- Use the network ingress and network egress extensions in Control Panel to configure ingress and egress policies for the enrollments you will peer between.
To establish a peer connection that exports data from your enrollment, your local enrollment must permit egress to the remote enrollment. Additionally, the remote enrollment must permit ingress from your local enrollment. The opposite is true if you are establishing a peer connection that imports data into your local enrollment from a remote enrollment. Your local enrollment must permit ingress from the remote enrollment, and the remote enrollment must permit egress to your local enrollment.
- Contact Palantir Support to establish a data relay or Multipass exchanger connection for your enrollment after you configure the relevant ingress and egress policies.
- Ensure that you are a manager of the local space you wish to create a connection for.
Initiate the peer connection
To initiate a peer connection:
- Select Create a peer request from the top right of the Peering connections panel to launch the Create a peering request popup window.
- Identify your enrollment's space in the Select a space to peer dropdown menu.
- Choose the data type(s) to export and/or import.
- Select Copy invite code.
- Share the invite code with an administrator on the peer enrollment, who will import the peer connection.
Import the peer connection
To import a peer connection after you receive an invite code:
- Select Enter invite code to launch the Importing peer request popup window.
- Paste the invite code in the empty text box to render the Connection details panel of the popup window.
- Identify the space on your enrollment to which you will accept peered objects or Artifacts from the Select a space to peer dropdown menu.
- Select Set security to optionally set the security of the connection
You cannot change the connection's security after it is set. If your peer connection's security requirements must change, then you will need to create a new connection.
- Select Approve request.
Activate the peer connection
After a peer request is accepted, the Peering connections extension prompts you to Activate the connection in the lower right corner of its right-hand panel. After reviewing the peer connection's configurations, you can also select Delete to restart the process.
