Configuring the Secure Gateway properties file

Description
Sets Secure Gateway authentication type.
Set value to 0 (zero) for no challenge. Set
value to 1 for basic challenge.
Shares authentication session credentials
for multiple DNS names. If this property is
not set, every DNS name is challenged. For
example, test.acme.com and
test2.acme.com would use
WebCommonDomainName=acme.com.
Used in conjunction with
WebAuthenticationType when property is
set to 1 (basic challenge).
Forces Secure Admin Console requests to
be SSL when value is set to 1.
Defines how long a browser-authenticated
administrator session (Secure Admin
Console) can remain inactive before it
expires and re-authenticates.
Turns on another layer of AES encryption
between Mobile Gateway and Secure
Gateway servers. Set value to 1 if Secure
Gateway server is outside the corporate
firewall. Regardless of this setting, all
communication between the IMS server to
devices is always encrypted.
