One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 7.0.5 LTS

Connection policies determine if a server can be accessed from a particular client. Connection policies reference other resources (policies, usergroups, keys) that must be configured and available before creating a connection policy.

Caution:

The connection policies of this protocol are available in READ-ONLY mode on the REST API. Also, the returned data is incomplete, it does not include any protocol-specific settings, only the parameters that are common to every supported protocol.

To modify the connection policies of this protocol, you must use the SPS web interface.

Using the REST API, you can modify the connection policies of the RDP and SSH protocols.

Cookies

Cookie name	Description	Required	Values
session_id	Contains the authentication token of the user	Required	The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API. NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists ICA connection policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/ica/connections/

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/ica/connections/<connection-key>

ICA channels

The available ICA channel types and their functionalities are described below. For details on configuring channel policies, see Channel policy.

Channel	Special options	Description
CTXTW	Yes	Drawing (Thinwire): Enables access to the server's desktop (screen). This channel is for remoting graphics and user input (keyboard, mouse). This channel must be enabled for ICA to work. Channel-specific actions: content_policy reference: The ID of the Content policy to apply to the connection. For example: "actions": { "audit": true, "four_eyes": true, "content_policy": { "key": "433849548566ab327522e6" "meta": { "href": "/api/configuration/policies/content_policies/44287216854f482e7f2b24" } }, }
CTXCAM	None	Audio Mapping: Enable access to the sound device of the server.
CTXCDM	None	Drive Mapping: Enable access to the client's hard drives on the server.
CTXCLIP	None	Clipboard: Enable access to the server's clipboard: the clipboard of the remote desktop can be pasted into local applications (and vice-versa). Note that SPS can audit the clipboard channel, but the Safeguard Desktop Player cannot search or display its contents.
CTXSCRD	None	Smartcard: Enable using client side installed smartcards in server-side applications.
CTXCOM1	None	Printer (COM1): Enable access to the serial port COM1.
CTXCOM2	None	Printer (COM2): Enable access to the serial port COM2.
CTXLPT1	None	Printer (LPT1): Enable access to the parallel port LPT1.
CTXLPT2	None	Printer (LPT2): Enable access to the parallel port LPT2.
CTXCPM	None	Printer Spooler: Enable access to the client's printer from the remote desktops and applications.
CTXFLSH	None	HDX Mediastream: Some user widgets (for example Flash player) will not run on the server but on the client. These widgets are controlled from the server side using this channel. This is not supported by Safeguard Desktop Player and it is disabled by default.
CTXUSB	None	USB: Enable using client side installed USB devices in server-side applications.
CTXTWI	None	Seamless:Enable seamless channels that run a single application on the ICA server, instead of accessing the entire desktop. When disabled, the application window will be accessed along with an empty desktop.
SPDBRS	None	Speedbrowse: Speeds up web browsing. Not currently supported by Safeguard Desktop Player, should be disabled by default.
custom	Yes	Custom: Applications can open custom channels to the clients connecting remotely to the server. Enabling the Custom channel allows the clients to access all of these custom channels. To permit only specific channels, configure the channels field. Channel-specific access control rules: channels: To permit only specific custom channels, configure this field. For example:. "channels": { "selection": "restricted", "restrictions": [ "CUSTOM1", "CUSTOM2" ] }
