    Sharath, 

     

    That value should be there. For some reason when I use the 'find' tool in Notepad ++ it doesn't find it. But when I manually looked for that value, I found it. Can you review the file again? Also, can you confirm which version of the Gateway you are on? 

     

    Thanks.

    Hello Sharath,

     

    Seenu Mathew response for changing the setting is correct.  If you believe this setting is not in your ssg.properties file may I suggest opening a case with support so they may be able to review the file with you.   The

    ssg.properties contains sensitive information that I am sure you would not want to share in an open forum.
