Creating an Ephemeral Authentication Configuration
Before you set up ephemeral authentication,
make sure that basic system configuration is complete including configuring network
interfaces, routes, VLANs, self IPs, DNS, and NTP.
You create an Ephemeral Authentication
Configuration to specify the authentication method and ephemeral password usage for
privileged user access.
- On the Main tab, click .
- ClickCreate.
- ForName, type a name for the Ephemeral Authentication Configuration.
- From theAuthentication Methodlist, select the authentication method or methods (LDAP, RADIUS, or both) to use for ephemeral authentication.Enable only one authentication type (LDAP or RADIUS) if associating this Authentication Configuration with an SSO configuration (HTTP Basic or Form Based supported).
- SelectOne Time Onlyto enable one-time authentication using the ephemeral password.If not selected, the ephemeral password can be used multiple times until it expires.
- ForExpiration in Minutes, type the number of minutes after which the ephemeral password expires.This value applies only whenOne Time Onlyis not selected.
- ClickSave.
Access Policy Manager creates an Authentication
Configuration and adds it to the list. You can use this in one or more Access
Configurations or in an SSO configuration (HTTP Basic or Form Based are
supported).
