Hi all,

WebDev offers the ability to set 'Require HTTPS' and 'Require Authentication' for each endpoint you configure. The default for both these options is set to False, however. Is there a way to set these to True by default? Or even better: is there a way to set them to True by default and remove the ability to change these values in the designer (i.e. it is only possible to change this in the gateway)?
