Configure an authenticated Airwall Gateway session

An Authenticated Airwall Gateway Session requires users to authenticate before the Airwall Gateway can communicate in an overlay network. The authentication is based on a user’s Conductor login credentials.

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

To configure authenticated Airwall Gateway sessions:

  1. Go to Airwalls edge services and select an Airwall Gateway.
  2. Click Edit Settings.
  3. Check Require Authenticated Airwall Session
  4. Click 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 Gateway Conductor username and password.
    Note: If the Airwall Gateway is a member of two or more overlay networks, select the overlay networks in which the Airwall Gateway will participate.
Once authenticated, the Airwall Gateway participates in the selected overlay network.
Note: To activate an Airwall Gateway in a different overlay network, you must reboot the Airwall Gateway, re-authenticate, and select the new overlay network.
