The channel policy lists the channels (for example, terminal session and SCP in SSH, Drawing, Clipboard in RDP) that can be used in a connection. The channel policy can further restrict access to each channel based on the IP address of the client or the server, a user list, user group, or a time policy. For example, all clients may access the servers defined in a connection via SSH terminal, but the channel policy may restrict SCP access only to a single client. The policies set in the channel policy are checked when the user attempts to open a particular channel type in the connection.
Channel policies are protocol specific. To list the available Channel policies for a protocol, use the following command.
curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/<http|ica|rdp|ssh|telnet|vnc>/channel_policies
The following sections detail the properties of Channel policy objects.

|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | Top level element, the name of the object. This name is also displayed on the SPS web interface. It cannot contain whitespace. | |
| rules | list of JSON objects | Top level element, contains the configuration properties of the object. | |
| actions | JSON object | The actions that SPS performs for the channel, for example, recording the traffic into an audit trail. | |
| allowed_for | JSON object | Specifies the access control rules of the channel, for example, permitted target IP addresses or usergroups. | |
| channel | string |
The type of the channel. Note that channels are protocol specific, and different type of channels can have different parameters.
For example: "channel": "#drawing", | |
| Element | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| actions | JSON object | The list of actions to perform when the Content policy matches the analyzed traffic. All actions are boolean values (true or false) | |
| audit | boolean |
Set to true to record the activities of the channel into audit trails. Possible values: true or false | |
| content_policy | JSON object |
Specifies the Content policy to use in the channel, otherwise its value is null (which is the default). For details on Content policies, see Real-time content monitoring with Content Policies For example: "content_policy": {
"key": "<object-id>",
} | |

| Element | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowed_for | JSON object | Specifies the access control rules of the channel. | |
| clients | list |
To restrict the availability of the channel only to certain clients, list the IP address or network of the clients allowed to use this the channel. For IPv6 addresses, use the canonized format of the address. For example: "clients": [
"192.168.1.1/24",
"2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:0:0/32"
Alternatively, you can also enter a hostname instead. One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) saves the hostname and resolves it when opening channels, therefore SPS can trace dynamic IP addresses. NOTE: Note the following limitations:
| |
| gateway_groups | list |
You can control channel access during gateway authentication with blacklists or whitelists of user groups. You can use local user lists on SPS, or LDAP groups. To use this option, you must also configure web gateway authentication in the connection policy, or client-side gateway authentication back-end in the authentication policy. For example: "gateway_groups": ["group1", "group2"], To configure local user lists, see User lists. | |
| remote_groups | list |
You can control channel access during authentication to the remote server with blacklists or whitelists of user groups. You can use local user lists on SPS, or LDAP groups. For example: "remote_groups": ["group1", "group2"], To configure local user lists, see User lists. | |
| servers | list |
To restrict the availability of the channel only to certain servers, list the IP address or network of the servers that your clients are allowed to access using this the channel. For IPv6 addresses, use the canonized format of the address. For example: "servers": [
"192.168.1.1/24",
"2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:0:0/32"
Alternatively, you can also enter a hostname instead. One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) saves the hostname and resolves it when opening channels, therefore SPS can trace dynamic IP addresses. NOTE: Note the following limitations:
Alternatively, you can configure a custom DNS server to be used for target selection | |
| time_policy | JSON object |
Specifies the Time policy to use in the channel. If you do not want to restrict access, use the default 7x24 policy-100. For details on Time policies, see Time policy. For example: "time_policy": {

Archiving transfers data from SPS to an external storage solution, cleanup removes (deletes) old files. Archived data can be accessed and searched, but cannot be restored (moved back) to the SPS appliance. Only those closed audit-trail files are archived where the retention time has already elapsed. To list the available Archive policies, use the following command.
curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/archive_cleanup_policies/
The following sections detail the properties of Archive/Cleanup policy objects.
GET https:<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/archive_cleanup_policies/<object-id>

| Element | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | Top level element, the name of the object. This name is also displayed on the SPS web interface. It cannot contain whitespace. | |
| include_node_id_in_path | boolean | Include the Cluster Node ID in the path. Recommended to set to True if the SPS instance is a node in a cluster. This ensures that the ID of the node is included in the path of the relevant directory, which is required to prevent cluster nodes from archiving data to the same location, and so overwriting each other's data and resulting in data loss. | |
| notification_event | Top level element | ||
| type | string (all | errors-only | none) |
| |
| send_filelist | boolean |
This is meaningful only if notification_event is set to all. True if the list of files are included in the notification e-mail. | |
| file_count_limit | integer |
This is meaningful only if notification_event is set to all and send_filelist is set to True. The maximum number of files that are included in the notification e-mail. | |
| target | Top level element | Defines the address of the archive server, which protocol to use to access it, and other parameters. SPS can be configured to use the SMB/CIFS, and NFS protocols to access the archive server. | |
| type | string (smb | nfs | none) |
| |
| server | Top level element | ||
| domain | string |
Only if type is set to smb. The domain name of the target server | |
| protocol_version | string |
Only if type is set to smb. The SMB protocol to use when SPS connects to the server. Servers are usually backwards compatible with earlier protocol versions (for example, a server that supports version 2.1 supports versions 2.0 and 1.0 as well). | |
| share | string |
Only if type is set to smb. The name and directory path of the share in the following format: share_name/path/to/directory | |
| authentication | Top level element |
Only if type is set to smb. | |
| path | string | The path to the archive directory on the target server | |
| start_times | list of strings | The time when the archive process starts in H:MM or HH:MM format. | |
| template | string |
SPS organizes the audit trails into directories based on the date or the protocol. The subdirectories are created directly into the archive directory. The following subdirectory structures are possible:
| |
| retention_days | integer (days) | Data older than this value is archived to the external server. The archived data is deleted from SPS. | |
| Elements of server | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
