12.4.1 Enabling an Authentication Procedure

After hiding the internal web server behind Access Gateway, you can add an authentication method to the website by using the following procedure:

  1. Click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit.

  2. Click DAL > Dallistener > Protected Resources > everything.

  3. In the Authentication Procedure field, select Name/Password - Form.

    IMPORTANT:Make sure to select the Name/Password - Form from the drop-down menu. Secure Name/Password does not work correctly if the base URL for Identity Server is HTTP.

  4. Click OK to return to the Protected Resources page.

  5. Click Devices > Access Gateways, then click Update > OK.

    This pushes the new configuration to the server. When the configuration process is complete, the status returns to Current.

  6. To test the results, open a browser and enter the URL of your website.

    The website must now be protected and require you to log in by using a name and password.

  7. Enter the credentials of the admin user of your Administration Console.

    The Digital Airlines site appears. If you receive an error, see Common Authentication Problems.

  8. Close all sessions of the browser.

    The Digital Airlines page has a logout graphic, but it is not’ an action. The current session is active until you log out (which is not’ possible), until the session times out (the default value is 20 minutes), or you close all sessions of the browser.

  9. Continue with Configuring a Role-Based Policy.
