System parameters for security

In the ACE Admin System parameters window there is tab named Security, where you configure functionality for logging in with password.

Short name and description Explanation Default value Enabling method
centrexGwPwdUsername

CentrexIP. ACE User whose password is used to connect to gateway.

 When using a Centrex PBX type to two system parameters are used to store login data towards Telia Company’s gateway, TGW.
  1. centrexGwUsername, stores the username to be used towards TGW.
  2. centrexGwPwdUsername, stores the name of an ACE user, whose password is used as password towards TGW.

Both parameters are used to be able to handle that the username is already busy in ACE Server. Normally these parameters are given the same value.

encryptedTcpAgent

Encrypted connection client-server installed.

 This parameter indicates whether the installation requires encryption between the server and the clients. Governs encryption in ACE Server as well. N.B. does not regulate encryption between Application Server and client. A tick here means coding is installed, unticked means coding is not installed.

To be able to use encryption, support for encryption must be installed in ACE Server.

 Restart

Changes take effect after restart or ACE Server.

The enabling must be co-ordinated with other actions. If encrypted communication is activated in ACE Application Server (e.g. Borland Socket Server), but not in ACE Server you will not be able to log in to the system!

See ref. Drifthandledning (available in Swedish only).
mobileLockUserAccount

ssoThumbPrint

SSO: Thumbprint 1 for validation of SAML token.

 Cryptographic thumbprint for the token signing certificate in the identity provider at Telia.

You can have two thumbprints configured in parallel. See ssoThumbPrint2.

Changes take effect immediately.
ssoThumbPrint1LastValidDate

SSO: Thumbprint 1 date last valid (YYYYMMDD).

Last date the thumbprint stored in parameter ssoThumbPrint is valid for validating login with Single-sign on.Must be in the format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20190824. If the parameter is empty, the parameter ssoThumbPrint is regarded as invalid.

   Auto

Changes take effect immediately.
ssoThumbPrint2

SSO: Thumbprint 2 for validation of SAML token.

 Cryptographic thumbprint for the token signing certificate in the identity provider at Telia.

Used for validating login with Single-sign together with the value of parameter ssoIdpRelyingParty.

See also parameter ssoThumbPrint. Since it is possible to have two thumbprints configured at the same time, automatic rollover between two certificates in the Telia ADFS server can be handled without having to re-configure the thumbprint in ACE Admin exactly when rollover occurs.

In order for validation of Single-sign on to succeed, either the parameter ssoThumbPrint, ssoThumbPrint2 or both must be configured. If validation of Single-sign on fails with one thumbprint, the other thumbprint will be used for a second validation given that both parameters are configured (and having a valid expiration date).

SSO: Thumbprint 2 date last valid (YYYYMMDD).

 Last date the thumbprint stored in parameter ssoThumbPrint2 is valid for validating login with Single-sign on. Must be configured in the format YYYYMMDD, e.g. 20190824. If the parameter is empty, the parameter ssoThumbPrint2 is regarded as invalid.   Auto

systemId

System identity, separates ACE systems (Normally formed by the licence key).

 Unique system identity for a specific ACE system. Must not collide with other ACE systems (also applies to any test systems). The system identity is used to identify an ACE system among various sub products.

The value is set automatically to the first eight characters from the licence key in the following situations:

When the licence is configured in a newly installed system.

When an existing system is upgraded to CallGuide 8.2.

   Special
unusedAccountLockDays

Time before an unused account is locked (days).

 Unused accounts are automatically locked after the specified number of days.
