Authentication Process for Config UI

Using the login screen of the Config UI, you can enter username and password for authentication. TIBCO API Exchange Gateway supports the authentication of users on the LDAP server or in a file. This functionality enables you to do the following:

•	Create multiple users to login to the Config UI.

•	Define the timeout value for an active session of the user.

•	The option to logout after the user logs to the Config UI.

By default, only one user is allowed to login to the Config UI. This user is specified with the tibco.env.ASG_ADMIN_USERNAME parameter in the ASG_HOME/bin/asg-configui.tra file.

Authentication Properties

The following table explains the properties to enable the LDAP or FILE-based user authentication for the Config UI.

Table 41 Authentication Properties

Property	Description
asg-configui.tra File Properties
java.property.com.tibco.asg.designtime.configui.ASGAuthProcess	Specifies the type of the authentication process required to login to the Config UI. The possible values are: − LDAP − FILE • The default value of this property is blank. If you do not specify any value and keep it blank, the login user is authenticated with the values specified in the tibco.env.ASG_ADMIN_USERNAME and tibco.env.ASG_ADMIN_PASSWORD properties of asg-configui.tra file. See Default Authentication for details. • The value of this property is required if you want to authenticate the user on a LDAP server or in a FILE.
java.property.com.tibco.asg.designtime.configui.ASGPropFile	Specifies the path to the property file for the authentication process. • Value of this property is required if the java.property.com.tibco.asg.designtime.configui.ASGAuthProcess property is set to FILE or LDAP. • If the authentication process is done on the LDAP server, then this parameter specifies the path to a property file containing the complete details to connect to LDAP server. Example: ASG_HOME/bin/ldapSearch.properties where ASG_HOME is set to the directory where TIBCO API Exchange Gateway is installed. • If the authentication process type is FILE, then this parameter specifies the path to a text file containing the credentials of the users. Example: ASG_HOME/mm/config/users.pwd where ASG_HOME is set to the directory where the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway is installed. See Authentication Property Files for details.
java.property.com.tibco.asg.designtime.configui.ASGSessionTimeOut	Specifies the timeout value (in minutes) for a session. Set as Integer value. The session does not time out if the value is set to a negative value. Required.
