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 or 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.
