    "enabled": false
},

Configures Source Network Address Translation. Possible values are:

• box_address

  Default. Uses the network address of the logical interface of SPS.

• original

  Uses the IP address of the client, as seen by SPS.

• fix

  Uses a fixed address when connecting to the remote server.

  Must be used with the address element.

Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to fix.

The IP address to use as the source address in server-side connections.

Configures the encryption used in the sessions.

Selects the certificate to show to the peers. You have the following options:

• Use a self-signed certificate:

  Select this option if you want to enable TLS-encryption, but you do not have a certificate that is generated by an external CA, or a signing CA.

  "certificate": {
          "selection": "self_signed"
      }

• Use the same certificate for each client:

  Select this option if you want to use the same certificate for every peer. Note that you must reference a certificate that includes its private key that you have already uploaded to SPS. For details, see Certificates stored on SPS.

  "certificate": {
      "selection": "fix",
      "x509_identity": "893b7eb7-8c6f-403a-ba3a-1d09dc4b4c7a"
  }

• Generate a certificate for each client:

  Select this option if you want to generate a certificate for each client. Note that you must reference a Signing CA that you have already configured on SPS. For details, see Signing CA policies.

  "certificate": {
      "selection": "generate",
      "signing_ca": "1904188625a843f11d30a5"
  },

By default, SPS accepts any certificate shown by the server.

"server_certificate_check": {
   "enabled": false
},

To verify the certificate of the destination server, configure and reference a Trusted CA list.

"server_certificate_check": {
   "enabled": true,
   "trusted_ca": "9106862955a844051d7bf6"
},

Set to true to permit the clients to disable TLS encryption and use only the Legacy RDP Security Layer (also known as: Standard RDP Security). You might want to do this if you are experiencing compatibility issues. For example, when you attempt to connect to a very old Windows machine (for example, Windows Server 2003 or older).

Configures the encryption used in the sessions.

• legacy: Disables TLS encryption for RDP connections completely, and uses only the Legacy RDP Security Layer (also known as: Standard RDP Security). You might want to do this if you are experiencing compatibility issues. For example, when you attempt to connect to a very old Windows machine (for example, Windows Server 2003 or older).

  Caution: Security Hazard! Selecting this option can significantly reduce the strength of the encryption used!

  "transport_security": {
      "selection": "legacy"
  },

• tls: Enables TLS-encryption. Note that you must also set the certificate, server_certificate_check, and legacy_fallback options.

  "transport_security": {
      "certificate": {
          "selection": "self_signed"
      },
      "server_certificate_check": {
          "enabled": false
      },
      "legacy_fallback": false,
      "selection": "tls"
  }

By default, any user can perform gateway authentication for the connections. You can restrict authentication to members of specific usergroups. Define the usergroups at the /api/configuration/aaa/local_database/groups/ endpoint, and list the name of each group here.

Set to true and configure the other options as needed for your environment to use SPS as a Remote Desktop Gateway. For details and prerequisites, see Using One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) as a Remote Desktop Gateway in the Administration Guide.

To act as a Remote Desktop Gateway, SPS needs to display a certificate to the clients.

• To automatically create new certificates on SPS for every client, set "selection": "generate", and reference the Certificate Authority (CA) to sign the generated certificates. For example:

  "certificate": {
      "selection": "generate",
      "value": {
          "signing_ca": "53449998258a4ceba80fdc"
          },
          "common_name": "examplecn"
      }

  For details on uploading certificates, see Certificates stored on SPS.

• To always display the same certificate, set "selection": "fix", and reference an X.509 certificate and the matching private key. For example:

  "certificate": {
          "selection": "fix",
          "value": "1904188625a843f11d30a5"
      },

  For details on creating a signing CA, see Signing CA policies.

Determines if SPS displays the same certificate to every client (fix), or generates a separate certificate (generate) for every client.

Contains the options and parameters related to the option set in selection.

• If selection is set to generate, this is a JSON object.

• If selection is set to fix, this is a string containing the reference ID of the certificate that SPS displays to the clients.

Available only if selection is set to generate. You can specify the Common Name of the generated certificates in this parameter. For example:

"common_name": "examplecn"

If set to null, the Common Name of the certificates will be SPS-hostname.domainname

Available only if selection is set to generate. Contains the reference key of the signing CA used to sign the certificates that SPS shows to the clients. For example:

"signing_ca": "1904188625a843f11d30a5"

If set to null, the Common Name of the certificates will be SPS-hostname.domainname

Determines how SPS authenticates the clients: either using Active Directory (SPS must be member of a domain), or using a Local User Database.

Determines how SPS authenticates the clients:

• using Active Directory (SPS must be member of a domain)

  "local_authentication": {
      "selection": "local_user_database",
      "value": {
          "domain": "example",
          "local_user_database": "15646962145a843f758501d"
          }
      }

• using a Local User Database.

  "local_authentication": {
      "selection": "active_directory",
      "value": null
  }

Set to null if selection is set to active_directory.

If selection is set to local_user_database, value contains a JSON object with the domain and local_user_database keys.

Available only if selection is set to local_user_database.

Configures a DNS server that is used to reverse-resolve the hostname if the Channel Policy contains the address of the target as a hostname instead of an IP address. By default, this is disabled and SPS uses the DNS server set in the /api/configuration/network/dns endpoint.

• To use the default DNS, disable this option:

  "server_address": {
      "custom_dns": {
          "enabled": false
      },
      ...
  },

• To use a custom DNS, enable this option and set the IP address of the domain name server to use:

  "server_address": {
      "custom_dns": {
          "enabled": true,
          "server": "192.168.1.1"
      },
      ...
  },

Configures the address where the clients connect to. Possible values are:

• original

  Connect to the same address specified by the client.

• nat

  Perform a network address translation on the target address.

  Must be used with the network element.

• fix

  Must be used with the address and port elements.

• inband

  Extract the address of the server from the username.

  Must be used with the domains element.

  Optional elements: exception_domains, dns_server, and dns_suffixes.

Must be used if selection is set to nat.

The target address in IP/prefix format. Example: "10.20.30.40/24".

Must be used if selection is set to fix.

The IP address of the target server.

Must be used if selection is set to fix.
