Built-In Authentication Server

The Secure Gateway includes an Authentication Server that provides a layer of protection by authenticating end-users before they can access any internal resource.

The Authentication Server can be enabled / disabled from the Configuration Portal. The Authentication Server is installed locally and is employed to authenticate users.

Note: In order to use the Authentication Server, you need to restart your computer after you install the Secure Gateway.

Note: The Authentication Server can only be configured for one domain at a time.

Use the Configuration page to modify settings for the Authentication Server:

The configuration settings are stored in the file EricomSecureGateway.exe.config. The user configurable settings are located under the <ExternalServerSettings><AuthenticationServer> section and defined in the following table.

Any configuration of the Authentication Server itself needs to be done through its Web-Portal, which is by default located at https://localhost:7443.

The configuration settings are stored in the file EricomAuthenticationServer.exe.config. The user configurable settings are located under the <appsettings> section.
