Adding a site
To add a new site, follow these steps.
- Navigate to Settings > Sites in the left navigation pane.
- Click Add Site.
- Enter the following site details.
- Enter the site name.
- Enter site description, if any.
- Select the appropriate certificate from the drop-down menu.
- Select the appropriate IdP from the drop-down menu. The administrator has the option to select the appropriate Identity Provider (IdP) from the provided drop-down menu. They can choose multiple IdPs, including local user management as well as prominent IdPs such as AD (Active Directory), ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services), Azure, and Google.
To get the IdP configuration related details, refer Identity Providers.
- The sub domain and the base domain will be auto-populated after you select the certificate.
- If an Identity Provider (IdP) other than Seqrite is selected, the Entity ID and Reply URL fields will be populated automatically based on the chosen IdP. The Entity ID serves to identify the entities involved in a Single Sign-On (SSO) transaction, whether they are service providers or identity providers. Conversely, the Reply URL designates the endpoint where the authentication response is directed following successful authentication.
- Click Next. You will proceed to the second stage, which involves configuring the Network Settings.
- Enter a subnet in the Virtual IP Pool field, such as 10.10.1.0/24. Each ZTNA Agent will receive an individual IP address from this virtual IP pool for accessing network-based applications.
-
Enter the IP address of your organization’s custom DNS server to resolve domain names to IP addresses for on-premise applications. Ensure to include it as an application and grant access through a zero-trust policy. You can add multiple Custom DNS Servers.
Note☛ Add 8.8.8.8 as a backup DNS server entry on the site page. This ensures that if the primary DNS fails, 8.8.8.8 can be utilized as an alternative.
- Click Next. You will proceed to the third stage, which involes configuring Timeout Settings.
-
User Authentication Timeout Setting: This time frame ranges from 1 to 24 hours. This is the time duration after which the user’s session will end and they will be automatically logged out.
-
Idle Session Timeout Setting: Seqrite ZTNA administrators can configure session timeout intervals for the user portal at the tenant level, allowing flexibility for administrators to set their preferred duration. The idle session timeout functionality ensures automatic logout after the specified period of inactivity (default 30 mins) while
enabling users to re-login. The configurable duration ranges from 5 minutes to 1440 minutes (24 hours) for enhanced customization. -
After setting up these 2 timeouts click Add.
