[question_1]

NOTE: To configure this optional section, contact our Support Team.

To request additional information from the user (for example, ticket number), define one or more [question_] section (for example, [question_1], [question_2]). The user input will be stored under the value of key in the questions section of the session cookie.

Description: Used for communication between plugins. This is an interactive request/response right after authentication in order to supply data to Credential Store plugins. The question is transferred to the session cookie and all hooks of all plugins receive it.

For example, if you have an external authenticator app, you do not have to wait for the question to be prompted but can authenticate with a one-time password:

ssh otp=123456@root@scb

Name subsequent questions with the appropriate number (for example, [question_1], [question_2], and so on).

For details, see "Performing authentication with AA plugin in terminal connections" in the Administration Guide and "Performing authentication with AA plugin in Remote Desktop connections" in the Administration Guide.

Store sensitive plugin data securely

By default, the configuration of the plugin is stored on SPS in the configuration of SPS. Make sure that you store the sensitive parameters (for example, ) of the plugin in an encrypted way.

To store sensitive plugin data securely

  1. Log in to SPS, navigate to Policies > Credential Stores and create a Local Credential Store. For details, see "Configuring local Credential Stores" in the Administration Guide.

    Instead of usernames and passwords, you will store the configuration parameters of the plugin in this Credential Store.

  2. Add the plugin parameters you want to store in an encrypted way to the Credential Store. You can store any configuration parameter of the plugin in the Credential Store, but note that if an option appears in the Credential Store, the plugin will use it. If the same parameter appears in the configuration of the plugin, it will be ignored.

    • Enter the name of the configuration section without the brackets in the Host field (for example, ).

    • Enter the name of the plugin parameter in the Username field (for example, ).

    • Enter the value of the plugin parameter in the Passwords field.

    • Click .

  3. Navigate to the configuration of the plugin on the Policies > AA Plugin Configurations page.

  4. In the plugin configuration file, enter the name of the local Credential Store under the [credential_store] section as the value of the name parameter.

  5. Enter $ as the value of the parameter storing sensitive data.
