Prerequisites for Configuring Cloudpath

Deploying the OVA (For Local Deployments)

• VMware server or Microsoft Hyper-V Manager on which you’ll install the Cloudpath virtual appliance.
• The URL where the image file resides
• FQDN Hostname of the virtual appliance
• IP address and subnet mask for the virtual appliance (not required if using DHCP)
• Gateway IP address for your network (not required if using DHCP)
• IP address of DNS server (not required if using DHCP)
• A list of IP addresses that are allowed Administrative access (optional)
• Service account security credentials

Setting up the Initial Account

• Activation code issued from Cloudpath Licensing Server
• HTTPS server certificate
• Company Information (Domain, URL)
• DNS hostname
• Active Directory domain, DNS/IP address of AD server, and DN of AD domain or LDAP server
• Web server certificate (public-signed)

If you are not using the Cloudpath onboard CA, you also need:

• Public and Private key of existing CA

Configuring the Workflow

This section lists items to consider when you configure the workflow:

• An idea about the types of access and policies you want to offer different users
• Images and color schemes if you plan to customize the webpage display
• AD group names for creating filters in the workflow
• An idea about the security policy for passwords, vouchers, and certificates
  • Vouchers have configurable format and validity periods
  • Certificates have configurable key lengths, algorithm types, and validity periods
• The SSID for the secure network
  • If using VLANS to apply policy, you should have the VLAN IDs

• A list of conflicting SSIDs to prevent roaming (for example, open SSIDs)
• An idea about which OS families and versions to support
• Additional requirements for device configurations (for example, enable firewall, proxy, verify antivirus, enable screen lock pass code)
