OAM SDK APIs over-writes changes to ObAccessClient.xml file on client host machine

Custom form for form based authentication. In custom form, upon page submission, OAM SDK APIs are called to created authenticated sessions. As per our analysis on OAM SDK APIs interaction with OAM server, what we observed is when API call is made it looks upto to webgate profile configuration in OAM and writes back to ObAccessClient.xml file present on client host machine from where OAM SDK APIs are invoked but while writting back to ObAccessClient.xml it drops some configurations (e.g. "Allow Management Operations" webgate property is not written back to ObAccessClient.xml file ). I want to know since OAM SDK APIs doesn't write back webgate's property "Allow Management Operations" in ObAccessClient.xml file, can it cause any other session management issue? Also, is there any option to instruct OAM SDK APIs to stopping writing back to ObAccessClient.xml file?
