Configure an authenticated Airwall Agent or Server session

An authenticated Airwall Agent or Server session requires users to authenticate before the Airwall Agent or Server can communicate in an overlay network. The authentication is based on a user’s Conductor login credentials.

Note: Authenticated Airwall Agent or Server sessions expire after 15 minutes of inactivity, or within 24 hours of user log in.

To configure authenticated Airwall Agent or Server sessions:

  1. Go to Airwalls and select an Airwall Agent or Server.
  2. Select Edit Settings.
  3. Under Airwall agent authentication, check Require authenticated Airwall session
  4. Select Update Settings.
  5. Point your web browser to a secure (HTTPS) web URL using one of the remote device IP addresses.
  6. In the HTTPS login page, enter the Airwall Agent or Server Conductor username and password.
    Note: If the Airwall Agent or Server is a member of two or more overlay networks, select the overlay networks in which the Airwall Agent or Server will participate.
Once authenticated, the Airwall Agent or Server participates in the selected overlay network.
Note: To activate an Airwall Agent or Server in a different overlay network, you must reboot the Airwall Agent or Server, re-authenticate, and select the new overlay network.
