The Trust1Gateway leverages the Kong API Gateway as its operational gateway. While the Trust1Gateway Engine manages it entirely for you, its admin API is available at <http://localhost:8001>

You can access it through a REST client such as [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com/):

Or you could install third party utilities such as the [Kong Dashboard](https://github.com/PGBI/kong-dashboard):
