Creating a virtual server for Ephemeral Authentication
Before you begin, you need to have created the Ephemeral Access Configuration that you want to associate with a virtual server for privileged user access as well as an access policy, and a connectivity profile.
This task describes how to create the virtual server that acts as the Ephemeral Authentication server and which includes the access profile/policy containing the AAA agent to authenticate the end user and the webtop resources for ephemeral authentication.
-
On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Virtual Servers.
The Virtual Server List screen opens.
-
Click Create.
The New Virtual Server screen opens.
-
In the Name field, type a unique name for the virtual server, such as
pua_webtop. -
For the Destination Address/Mask setting, confirm that the Host button is selected, and type the IP address in CIDR format (address/prefix).
Note: The various virtual servers being used for ephemeral authentication (LDAP, LDAPS, and/or RADIUS) can all have the same Destination Address as long as they use different service ports.
-
In the Service Port field, select HTTPS, port 443.
-
For Protocol Profile (Client), select tcp.
-
For HTTP Profile (Client), select http.
-
For SSL Profile (Client), select a client profile, such as clientssl.
-
For Source Address Translation, select Auto Map.
-
For Rewrite Profile, select rewrite-portal.
-
In the Access Policy section, select theAccess Profile, and then the Connectivity Profile you created.
-
In the Ephemeral Authentication section, for Access Configuration, select the Access Configuration you created.
-
Click Finished.
The virtual server is set up for ephemeral authentication.
