Active Directory Group for Gateway **

Specifies the active directory group to be used for the Gateway connection. If there is no login for this group on the database Instance, the system creates one and grants the necessary permissions. All Lucity users must log into Windows using a Windows account that is part of this group. (This field appears only when the Integrated Security for Desktop Gateway option is set to True.)

 

Centrally Manage Desktop Gateway **

Indicates whether the unencrypted Gateway connection information should be stored in the Config folder of the Lucity share so that it can be accessed by all Lucity Desktop users. If this field is set to False, the Gateway information must be manually set up on either the workstation or in the Config folder to allow Desktop users to connect to the database. Note that this is a global setting that affects all clients installed in a multi-client environment.

 

Integrated Security for Desktop Gateway **

Indicates whether the Gateway Login should use integrated security (i.e., the Windows login of the current user). When enabled, the Gateway uses Windows security settings to encrypt the data that it sends to SQL Server. This fields defaults to True for SQL Server databases and False for Oracle databases, because Oracle requires the user's IT department to perform additional steps to set up integrated security.

If the Centrally Manage Desktop Gateway field is set to True, Lucity recommends using integrated security because the connection information is stored in an unencrypted file.
