Colleague configuration
Enter the settings that allow Ellucian Mobile to communicate with Colleague.
Note: While the settings are entered in the Mobile Cloud Configuration tool, they are stored locally in your Mobile Integration Server database and not in the Ellucian Cloud. If you have legal requirements that prevent the transmission of sensitive information across country borders, you can instead enter some of these settings in the colleague-mobileserver-config.groovy file so that both data entry and storage are local. See Specify Colleague configuration in the config.groovy file.
