One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can be connected from a client machine using web browsers and accessed from the local network.

NOTE: For details on supported browsers, see Supported web browsers and operating systems.

Starting with version 3.1, SPS attempts to receive an IP address automatically via DHCP. If it fails to obtain an automatic IP address, it starts listening for HTTPS connections on the 192.168.1.1 IP address. Note that certain switch configurations and security settings can interfere with SPS receiving an IP address via DHCP. SPS accepts connections via its interface 1 (labelled 1 or EXT). For details on the network interfaces, see Network interfaces).

TIP: The SPS console displays the IP address on which interface 1 is listening.

If SPS is listening on the 192.168.1.1 address, note that the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet must be accessible from the client. If the client machine is in a different subnet (for example, its IP address is 192.168.10.X), but in the same network segment, the easiest way is to assign an alias IP address to the client machine. Creating an alias IP on the client machine virtually puts both the client and SPS into the same subnet, so that they can communicate. To create an alias IP complete the following steps.

• For details on creating an alias IP on Microsoft Windows, see Creating an alias IP address (Microsoft Windows).

• For details on creating an alias IP on Linux, see Creating an alias IP address (Linux).

• If configuring an alias interface is not an option for some reason, you can modify the IP address of SPS. For details, see Modifying the IP address of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).

Caution: The Welcome Wizard can be accessed only using interface 1, as the other network interfaces are not configured yet.
