Setting the IntraPort for an ACE/Server

Just a few basic settings are required for the IntraPort to communicate with an ACE/Server.

SecurID on

Encryption method

ACE/Server IP address

Enable SecurID for a group of IntraPort users

CV: Use the SecurID Configuration Window (under Global/SecurID Configuration) to set up a server. Use the SecurID tab in the VPN Group Configuration Window to enable SecurID for a VPN group.

TB: Use the configure command and set the Enabled, EncryptMeth and PrimaryServer keywords in the SecurID section, then set the SecurIDRequired keyword in a VPN Group Name section.

ACE/Server Settings

To configure the ACE/Server for communication with the IntraPort, consult the ACE/Server Installation Guide. You should consult the ACE/Server Administration Manual on the ACE/Server CD-ROM for instructions on adding and removing users in the ACE/Server database.

ϖNote: The IntraPort should be configured as a communication server in the Client Type pull-down menu in the ACE/Server’s Add Client dialog box (under Client>Add Client).

ϖNote: The first time the IntraPort contacts the ACE/Server, they exchange a secret based in part on the IntraPort’s IP address. After the first exchange, the Sent Node Secret checkbox in the ACE/Server’s Add Client dialog box (which can be accessed using the Add Client option under the Client menu) will be checked. The checkbox will be grayed out until this initial exchange has taken place. Any major changes to the IntraPort’s configuration (such as changing its IP address) will mean that the IntraPort and the ACE/Server will no longer be able to communicate. To get around this, simply uncheck the Sent Node Secret checkbox on the ACE/Server and issue the reset securid secret command in the IntraPort. Remember to save the changes to both devices. The two devices will do a new secret exchange and will be able to communi- cate again.
