You can find the configuration under System > Security within the GUI. See below image.

There are two options for the Authentication Mode:

  • Local Only (default): This mode authenticates users against the local database as defined in System > Users.
  • Remote then Local: This mode allows you to select the authentication server that will be used for user authentication. Authentication Servers are defined in Library > Authentication.

You can also select which ADC user groups can be used when using remote authentication.

This is also very easy to do. Please follow the guidance below.

Navigate to Library > Authentication and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Select Default from the dropdown and click the Preview button.

The default form that you see will look something like the image below.

The system uses standard html pages. The default is called preview.html.
You will note that there are two variables %JNMESSAGE% and %JNAUTHMESSAGE% that are used to show messages on the page.

Option Description
Name form name = loginformaction = %JNURL%Method = POST
Username Syntax: name = “JNUSER”
Password: name=”JNPASS”
Optional Message1: %JNMESSAGE%
Optional Message2: %JNAUTHMESSAGE%
Images If you wish to add an image, then please add it in-line using Base64 encoding.

Example html code of a very basic and simple form

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>SAMPLE AUTH FORM</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
%JNMESSAGE%<br>
<form name=”loginform” action=”%JNURL%” method=”post“> USER: <input type=”text” name=”JNUSER” size=”20” value=””></br>
PASS: <input type=”password” name=”JNPASS” size=”20” value=””></br>
<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”OK“>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You can add images and more to make it your very own design.

Once you have created it and saved to your local machine, you can upload it and then select it for use.

]]> Does the EdgeADC support authentication using AzureAD? https://kb.edgenexus.io/kb/does-the-edgeadc-support-authentication-using-azuread/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 09:55:24 +0000 https://kb.edgenexus.io/?post_type=epkb_post_type_1&p=200 Yes is the simple answer.

You can choose to use Azure AD to authenticate your users by specifying its FQDN or IP address in the Authentication server field.

In the example image above, we can see the fields filled in with dummy data, and indicates how to configure for Azure AD authentication.

You need to ensure that:

  • The Authentication Method is LDAPS
  • The Domain field is filled in with your AD Domain name.
  • The Server Address contains the IP or FQDN of your Azure AD server.
  • The Port should be 636 (default) or whatever port you use.
  • The Login Format ideally be Username Only.

In this particular example, we have also shown the Authentication Rule.

]]> Does the EdgeADC support Kerberos and SAML? https://kb.edgenexus.io/kb/does-the-edgeadc-support-kerberos-and-saml/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 09:45:05 +0000 https://kb.edgenexus.io/?post_type=epkb_post_type_1&p=198 Yes, the EdgeADC will support Kerberos and SAML, as well as Radius in builds following 4.2.10b1961.

]]> What types of Authentication servers are supported in the EdgeADC https://kb.edgenexus.io/kb/what-types-of-authentication-servers-are-supported-in-the-edgeadc/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 09:41:51 +0000 https://kb.edgenexus.io/?post_type=epkb_post_type_1&p=196 The EdgeADC supports authentication at the edge, called Pre-Authentication. This allows users connecting to their applications to be authenticated before they even reach the application servers, providing greater safety and security.

Prior to, and including, build 4.2.10 b1961, the authentication servers supported were:

  • LDAP
  • ADFS

The release following 4.2.10 b1961, we will also be providing for:

  • Radius
  • Kerberos
  • SAML
