Gateway Proxy provides the services that enable external applications to send data securely to MATRIXX Engine. It acts as an intermediary for clients sending requests to the engine and for responses from the engine to external applications.
matrixxsw-ldap-gateway-service-version-build.el7.x86_64.rpm Contains LDAP Gateway.

LDAP Gateway acts as a service bus, mediating between the charging server and different types of LDAP v3 server implementations (MicrosoftAD, ApacheDS, OpenLDAP etc) through an dedicated instance of ActiveMQ.
