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

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).

systemId
