After you complete the planning, you are ready to set up your trial environment. Complete the following tasks.
Procedure
If you are using the SSO Agent, complete the following.
Before you begin
Obtain the certificates described in Step 3: Test with Your Identity Source and All Applications .
Procedure
If you are using the SSO Agent, complete the following.
Procedure
Select the Enable the SSO Agent on all identity routers in the cluster checkbox.
Click Save and Finish.
Procedure
On the Identity Routers page, click Add an Identity Router, and follow the instructions.
Under Registration Details, copy the Registration Code and Authentication Service Domain to a location where you can access them later on.
You can install the virtual appliance image using a VMware administration client such as vSphere, by either connecting to the VMware vCenter Server, or connecting directly to the VMware ESXi host.
Or you can use Hyper-V Manager or Amazon Web Services EC2 to create a virtual machine for the identity router.
Note: If you do not see the options to download an identity router image, the images are not yet available. RSA will send you an email when these images are available for download.
Do one of the following:
To use VMware, sign into the VMware client, do the following:
Follow the VMware client documentation to install the virtual appliance from the image. When prompted, enter the following data:
If you are not using the SSO Agent, delete the second network interface.
Power on the virtual machine.
To use Hyper-V Manager, sign into Hyper-V Manager, and do the following:
Follow the wizard. In each dialog box, provide the following information.
Dialog Box | Required Information |
---|---|
Specify Name and Location | Name of the identity router virtual machine. |
Specify Generation | Select Generation 1. |
Assign Memory | Startup memory = 8192 MB (recommended). |
Configure Networking | Select the network for the management network adaptor. |
Connect Virtual Hard Disk | Select Use an existing virtual hard disk and browse to the location where the identity router VHD image is available. |
Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard | Review and click Finish. |
To configure the second network, select the new virtual machine, right-click, and select Settings .
On the Add Hardware page, select Network Adapter and click Add.
Select the network for your proxy interface, then click Apply and OK.
Select the new virtual machine from the list of virtual machines. Right-click and select Start.
With the virtual machine selected, right-click again and select Connect.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
AMI template | The AMI template image provided by RSA. |
Instance type | Determines presets for the virtual instance. The identity router requires a t2.large instance or greater. |
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | The section of your Amazon environment where you will deploy the identity router. |
Subnet | A subnetwork within your VPC where you will deploy the identity router. The subnet can be either public or private, depending on how resources and users will connect to the identity router. |
Auto-assign Public IP | Determines whether Amazon issues dynamic public IP addresses for the identity router, or the IP address is determined by the subnet settings. If your organization manages its own DNS service, RSA recommends allocating a persistent Elastic IP address through Amazon Web Services, and assigning it to the identity router instance after you complete the launch process. |
Storage | Virtual storage space. The identity router requires 54 GB General Purpose SSD (GP2) storage. |
Tags | Optional labels that describe this identity router. RSA recommends adding a tag specifying the Fully Qualified Domain Name, which acts as a unique identifier to differentiate this identity router from others in your deployment. |
Security groups | Firewall rules that control traffic to and from the identity router. Add security groups that allow necessary traffic from other network resources according to your deployment model. |
You use the Identity Router VM Console to configure IP addresses and static routes for on-premises identity routers deployed in your VMware or Hyper-V environment.
Note: This procedure is not required for identity routers in the Amazon Web Services cloud.
Procedure
Username: idradmin
Password: s1mp13
You are prompted to change these credentials the first time you sign in.
Refer to the planning worksheet for the values to complete the Management sections.
Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate the main menu. Press Enter to select a menu option or configure its settings. Use Tab and Shift + Tab to navigate between settings and back to the main menu. When the cursor is in the settings panel, press F10 to save or Esc to revert. Press F10 after you complete each section to save your values.
Write down the URL that appears.
Procedure
Sign into the Identity Router Setup Console:
Username: idradmin
Password: s1mp13
You are prompted to change these credentials the first time you sign in.
Note: These DNS server settings do not apply for identity routers in the Amazon cloud. Edit the DHCP option set in your Amazon Web Services environment if you need to add DNS servers for an Amazon cloud-based identity router.
Enter the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server hostname or IP address from the planning worksheet.
Click Update IDR Setup Configuration.
Click Connect Administration Console.
In the Registration Code field, enter the Registration Code displayed when you added the identity router in the Cloud Administration Console. See Add an Identity Router.
In the Authentication Service Domain field, enter the Authentication Service Domain displayed when you added the identity router in the Cloud Administration Console. See Add an Identity Router.
A confirmation message appears when the identity router is connected to the Cloud Administration Console. Also, note that the Identity Router Setup Console contains other pages that provide network diagnostics and detailed logs for the identity router.
Sign into the Cloud Administration Console to check the status of the identity router (Platform > Identity Routers).
When the identity router is connected to the Cloud Administration Console, the status reads Active. This process usually takes up to five minutes.
C lick Publish Changes to apply the configuration settings for the new identity router.
If you want to add your own identity source, do the following.
Procedure
Select Use selected policy attributes with the Cloud Authentication Service.
In the Policies column, select sAMAccountName, virtualGroups, and memberOf or other attributes that you might use to identify users.
In the User Search Filter field, specify your test group using a filter. The following is an Active Directory example:
(&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*)(objectClass=user)(mail=*)(memberOf=<yourgroup_distinguishedName>))
Where <yourgroup_distinguishedName> is the name of your test administrator group.
For example, (&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*)(objectClass=user)(mail=*)(memberOf=CN=SecurIDAccessUsers,OU=Groups,DC=Corp,DC=local))
If you added your own identity source, synchronize data between the Cloud Authentication Service and your LDAP directory to ensure that the Cloud Authentication Service reflects any updates made to the LDAP directory.
During synchronization, users are added and attribute values that you selected in the previous step are copied to the Cloud Authentication Service. User passwords are not synchronized.
In the Identity Source Details section, click Synchronize Now.
Depending on the number of users you are synching, this process can take a number of minutes.
If you are using the SSO Agent, RSA SecurID Access provides an out-of-the-box, web-based portal that allows users to access available web applications. Users access the portal using the load balancer public IP address.
Procedure
Now that you have the trial system set up, you are ready to add all supported applications. For instructions for all supported applications, see the RSA SecurID Access category on RSA Ready.
If you set up the SSO Agent, you can use the Application Catalog in the Cloud Administration Console to enable single sign-on through the application portal with minimal configuration. The catalog provides connection templates for popular web applications, such as Cisco WebEx and Microsoft Outlook Web Access. To view the Application Catalog, click Applications > Application Catalog.
