This section guides you through a workflow to protect your applications with SDP method.

1. Define the Secure App.

For testing purpose, OPSWAT hosts a demo application at demo.cloud.impulse.com .

• You will need to Enable Secure Access first if you have not done so.

• Click Add Protected App, then choose “SDP Gateway”. To protect applications with IdP Method, you can refer 3.1. SAML IdP Method

2. Fill in your application information as shown below:

• Application Name: this name will be shown to your end-users. For example: Demo

• Access Mode:

  • Monitor: the system will always allow an authorized users to access the application without processing access rules on your account

  • Enforce: the system will process access rules to decide if the system grants an authorized users access to the application

• Application Type: it can be an web application or SSH, RDP or Other

• Application URL: where the application is hosted

• Ports: ports the application is running

• Protocol

• Check on Allow ICMP Traffic if you allow devices send ICMP traffic to the application

• Enter your PIN

• Click SAVE

3. Assign who can access to this application. This step can be skipped and do later. Refer 3.2.3. Grant users access to protected applications for more details.

-Select end-users and IdP Groups in the available Users/Groups list

- Click the arrow icon to add to the selected Users/Groups lists to grant end-users/IdP groups access to the applications.

-Enter your PIN

-Click ASSIGN

4. You may be asked to set up a SDP Gateway if you have not set up SDP Gateway, please refer 3.2.2 Set up an SDP Gateway for detailed guideline.

5. Configure your firewall/proxy to lock the application down so only SDP Gateways can reach your application. At this step, the system will show available gateways on your account.
