When all access is through a connection broker and not from any stand-alone clients, the Authentication Server should be disabled, and the "broker only mode" enabled.
To disable the Authentication Server
-
At the Authentication Server page of the Secure Gateway portal, clear the Enabled check box to disable the Authentication Server.

-
Make the following changes to EricomSecureGateway.Config file:
-
Under <AuthenticationServer>, change <add key="Enabled" value="true"/> to <add key="Enabled" value="false"/>
<Section name="AuthenticationServer">
<Property name="Enabled" type="bool" value="false" />
-
Under <Security>, change <add key="ConnectionBrokerOnlyMode" value="false"/> to
<Section name="Security">
<Property name="CertificateFindBy" type="X509FindType" value="FindByExtension" />
<Property name="CertificateFindValue" type="string" value="1.2.840.113556.1.8000.2554.57748.52896.21682.18417.45066.8514989.679433.2" />
<Property name="ConnectionBrokerOnlyMode" type="bool" value="true" />
-
Making these changes prevents any connections from stand-alone clients through the Secure Gateway. All users will log in only through a connection broker.
