MSSQL channels

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

Channel Special options Description
mssql Yes

mssql: Enables access to the MSSQL server. This channel must be enabled for MSSQL 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"
    }
  },
}

MSSQL authentication policies

Lists the configured authentication methods that can be used in a connection. Each connection policy uses an authentication policy to determine how the client can authenticate on the SPS gateway.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/mssql/authentication_policies
Sample request

The following command lists MSSQL authentication policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/mssql/authentication_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/mssql/authentication_policies<object-id>
Response

The following is a sample response received when listing MSSQL authentication policies.

{
  "items": [
    {
      "key": "-200",
      "meta": {
        "href": "/api/configuration/mssql/authentication_policies/-200"

  }
}
Element Type Description
key string Top level element, contains the ID of the policy.
body Top level element Contains the elements of the policy.
name string The name of the object. This name is also displayed on the SPS web interface. It cannot contain whitespace.
backend Top level item Client-side gateway authentication settings. The value of selection defines which authentication method is used.
selection string

Defines the authentication method for client-side gateway authentication. Possible values are:

  • none

    Disables client-side gateway authentication.

  • ldap

    Uses the LDAP server selected for the connection policy. LDAP servers can be configured in the /api/configuration/policies/ldap_servers endpoint).

    To use this option, you must also configure the certificate, password, and public_key elements.

  • local

    Uses the local user database configured in the /api/configuration/policies/user_databases/ endpoint.

    To use this option, you must also configure the user_database element.

  • radius

    Uses one or more Radius servers for authentication.

    To use this option, you must also configure the authentication_protocol and servers elements.

servers Top level list

Only if selection is set to radius

Defines the properties of the RADIUS servers used for client-side authentication.

A valid list item consists of the address, port and shared_secret elements.

authentication_protocol Top level item

Only if selection is set to radius

RADIUS setting. Set to pap to use the Password Authentication Protocol. To use the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol, set it to chap.

user_database string

Only if selection is set to local

References the key of the local user database. You can configure local user databases at the /api/configuration/policies/user_databases/ endpoint.

To modify or add a local user database, use the value of the returned key as the value of the user_database element, and remove any child elements (including the key).

timeout integer (seconds) Specify the time remaining until a successful gateway authentication times out.
keepalive boolean Set to true to avoid interruptions for active HTTP sessions. Active HTTP sessions can extend the gateway authentication beyond the configured timeout.
Elements of servers Type Description
address Top level element Defines the address of a RADIUS server.
selection string

Required child of the address element. Possible values are:

  • ip

    The value element contains the IP of the RADIUS server.

  • fqdn

    The value element contains the FQDN of the RADIUS server.

value string The IP or the FQDN address of the RADIUS server.
port int The port number of the RADIUS server.
shared_secret string

References the key of the shared secret for the RADIUS server. You can configure shared secrets at the /api/configuration/passwords/ endpoint.

To modify or add a shared secret, use the value of the returned key as the value of the shared_secret element, and remove any child elements (including the key).

Alternatively, you can include the new password as plain text.

"shared_secret": {
    "plain": "<new-password>"
}
