Advanced authentication and authorization

Topics:

Usermapping policy

For SSH, RDP, Telnet, and Citrix ICA connections, usermapping policies can be defined. A usermapping policy describes who can use a specific username to access the remote server: only members of the specified local or LDAP usergroups (for example, administrators) can use the specified username (for example, root) on the server.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies
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 details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

Note that 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 the existing usermapping policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific usermapping policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies<object-id>

Default value: true.

To allow access the remote servers for users who are not explicitly listed in the Usermapping Policy, configure true. Note that these users must use the same username on the SPS gateway and the remote server.

mappings Top level list Contains the list of user groups and the corresponding remote usernames the group members can use to log in.
allowed_groups list

The usergroups allowed to log in as the remote_user on the remote server.

Example mappings:

Anyone can log in to the remote server as the test user:

"mappings": [
  {
    "allowed_groups": [],
    "remote_user": "test"
  }
        
Only the members of the admin group can log in to the remote server as the root user:
"mappings": [
  {
    "allowed_groups": [
      "admins"
    ],
    "remote_user": "root"

Add a usermapping policy

To add a usermapping policy, you have to:

  1. Open a transaction.

    For details, see Open a transaction.

  2. Create the JSON object for the new usermapping policy.

    If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new usermapping policy. For example:

    {
  "key": "2e8692fa-7fda-4753-8363-37e8244f6b80",
  "meta": {
    "href": "/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies/2e8692fa-7fda-4753-8363-37e8244f6b80",
