Authentication Policies

An authentication policy is a list of authentication methods that can be used in a connection. Connection definitions refer to an authentication policy to determine how the client can authenticate to the target server. Separate authentication methods can be used on the client and the server-side of the connection.

Creating a new authentication policy

The following describes how to create a new authentication policy.

To create a new authentication policy

  1. Navigate to SSH Control > Authentication Policies, and click .

    Figure 220: SSH Control > Authentication Policies — Configuring authentication policies

  2. Enter a name for the policy.

  3. Select the gateway authentication method to allow authentication on SPS. Note that this is an inband authentication that happens within the SSH protocol.

    If you selected Kerberos as the gateway authentication method, SPS disables all other authentication backends and authentication methods.

  4. Select the authentication database used on the client-side in the Authentication backend field. For details on the client-side authentication settings, see Client-side authentication settings.

    If you selected Kerberos as the gateway authentication method, skip this step. For details, see Kerberos authentication settings.

  5. Select the authentication method used on the server-side in the Relayed authentication methods field. For details on the relayed authentication settings, see Relayed authentication methods. Note the following:

    • If you selected Kerberos as the gateway authentication method, skip this step. For details, see Kerberos authentication settings.

    • If you selected Public key > Agent as the relayed authentication method:

      If this option is used, SPS requests the client to use its SSH agent to authenticate on the target server. Therefore, you must configure your clients to enable agent forwarding, otherwise authentication will fail. For details on enabling agent forwarding in your SSH application, see the documentation of the application.

    To be able to select Kerberos as the relayed authentication method, ensure that you also select Kerberos as the gateway authentication method.

  6. Click .

    NOTE: Consider the following:

    • The client-side authentication settings apply for authenticating the user inband (that is, within the SSH protocol) to the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) gateway, and is independent from the gateway authentication performed on the SPS web interface. The web-based gateway authentication is an out-of-band gateway authentication method that can be required by the connection policy. For details on out-of-band gateway authentication, see Configuring out-of-band gateway authentication.

      Gateway authentication on the SPS web interface can be used together with authentication policies. In an extreme setting, this would mean that the user has to perform three authentications: a client-side gateway authentication within the SSH protocol to SPS, an out-of-band gateway authentication on the SPS web interface, and a final authentication on the target server.

    • The Connection Policy will ignore the settings for server-side authentication (set under Relayed authentication methods for SSH protocol) if a Credential Store is used in the Connection Policy.
