Logging In to ESA
The Enterprise Security Administrator (ESA), contains several components such as, Insight, Audit Store, Analytics, Policy Management, Key Management, Certificate Management, Clustering, Backup/Restore, Networking, User Management, and so on. You must login to ESA to avail the services of these components. Log in to the CLI Manager or Web UI of ESA to secure your data using these components.
The login aspect of the appliance can be categorized into the following categories:
Simple Login
Log in to ESA from CLI or Web UI by providing valid user credentials. You can login to ESA as an appliance or LDAP user. For more information about users, refer to ESA users.
From your Web browser, type the domain name of the ESA HTTPS protocol, for example, https://192.168.1.x/. The Web Interface splash screen appears. The following figure displays the login page of the ESA Web UI.
You can login to the ESA CLI Manger using an SSH session.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-on (SSO) is a feature that enables users to authenticate multiple applications by logging in to a system only once. On the Protegrity appliances, you can utilize the Kerberos SSO mechanism to login to the appliance. For more information about SSO, refer to Single Sign-On. The following figure displays the login page with SSO.
Two-Factor Authentication
The two factor authentication is a verification process where two recognized factors are used to identify you before granting you access to a system or website. In addition to your password, you must correctly enter a different numeric one-time passcode or the verification code to finish the login process. This provides an extra layer of security to the traditional authentication method. For more information about two-factor authentication, refer Two-Factor Authentication.
Protegrity supports Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer browsers for Web UI login.
