	gateway_authentication		Top level item	Client-side gateway authentication settings. The value of selection defines which authentication method is used.
		selection	string	Defines the authentication method for client-side gateway authentication. Possible values are: none Disables client-side gateway authentication. ldap Uses the LDAP server selected for the connection policy. LDAP servers can be configured in the /api/configuration/policies/ldap_servers endpoint). local Uses the local user database configured in the /api/configuration/policies/user_databases/ endpoint. To use this option, you must also configure the user_database element. radius Uses one or more Radius servers for authentication. To use this option, you must also configure the authentication_protocol and servers elements.

		authentication_protocol	Top level item	Only if selection is set to radius RADIUS setting. Set to pap to use the Password Authentication Protocol. To use the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol, set it to chap.
		user_database	string	Only if selection is set to local References the key of the local user database. You can configure local user databases at the /api/configuration/policies/user_databases/ endpoint. To modify or add a local user database, use the value of the returned key as the value of the user_database element, and remove any child elements (including the key).
		timeout	integer (seconds)	Specify the time remaining until a successful gateway authentication times out.
		keepalive	boolean	Set to true to avoid interruptions for active HTTP sessions. Active HTTP sessions can extend the gateway authentication beyond the configured timeout.
