Area	Setting	Description
appSettings	UBIK.DataBase.ConnectionString	Configuration of the Microsoft SQL Server connect string to the UBIK® Database.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.ValidityPeriod	The duration [in seconds] until a cached record is marked as outdated in the UBIK® Kernel. Configuration of ValidityPeriod: Switch = -1 - cached objects are valid indefinitely. Switch = 0 - cache is always invalid and will get constantly updated. Switch = +1 - cached objects are checked every 1+ seconds.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.LogLevel	To enable logging the LogLevel must be set to Verbose in the Logging.config and also the switch for the LogLevel in the AppSettings.config should be adapted accordingly. Configuration of LogLevel switch in AppSettings.config: Switch = 0 - No logging. Switch = 10 - Simple logging. Switch = 20 - Detailed logging.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.TokenRestrictive	Validation of the used Token Configuration of TokenRestrictive: Switch = 0 - the token is not validated. Switch = 1 - data access is only possible after a successfull authentication.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.LanguageID	Configuration of the LanguageID that is used by the Web Service. The Service will deliver the content of MultiLanguage Properties in this language.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.SessionManagementType	Configuration of the type session management the current service will use: Switch = 0 - Single Local Management. Switch = 1 - USAM Service.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.SessionManagementUrl	In the case of SessionManagementType = 1, the URL of the USAM Service must be configured using this setting. If a port other than 443 (default port for https) is used, it has to be specified here as well.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.PushServiceUrl	In the case of SessionManagementType = 1, the URL of the PUSH Service must be configured using this setting..If a port other than 443 (default port for https) is used, it has to be specified here as well.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.GroupRightsUpdateIntervall	GroupRightsUpdateIntervall setting is optional. Update Interval [in seconds] for the Group Rights Evaluator. If this setting is not configured, the ValidityPeriod is used for defining the interval for the Rights Evaluator.

USAM Settings

Area	Setting	Description
appSettings	UBIK.DataBase.ConnectionString	Configuration of the Microsoft SQL Server connect string to the UBIK® Database.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.HideAuthenticationInfo	Authentication information error status Configuration of HideAuthenticationInfo: Switch = 0 - deliver error status if authentication fails. Switch = 1 - hide error status if authentication fails.

Switch = +1 - cached objects are checked every 1+ seconds.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.TokenValidityPeriod	The duration [in seconds] of how long a token is valid. For security reasons, it is recommended that the token validity should be set for short periode with a maximum of 86400 seconds (24 hours). Example Configuration of TokenValidityPeriod: Switch = 60 - token is valid for only 60 seconds. Switch = 3600 - token is valid for 1 hour.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.UserRestrictive	Authorization mechanism for user login Configuraion of UserRestrictive: Switch = 0 - every login may connect. Switch = 1 - only known logins may connect to UBIK®.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.DeviceRestrictive	Authorization mechanism for device logins Configuraion of DeviceRestrictive: Switch = 0 - every device may connect. Switch = 1- only known and active devices may connect to UBIK®.
appSettings	UBIK.Service.GroupRightsUpdateIntervall	GroupRightsUpdateIntervall setting is optional. Update Interval [in seconds] for the Group Rights Evaluator. If this setting is not configured, the ValidityPeriod defines the interval for the Rights Evaluator.
