After you configure the connectors for applications and set entitlements for users, you must provide a way for users to access the applications. CloudAccess provides the following portal pages for the users:
Login page: The login page allows users to enter their corporate credentials for authentication, such as user name and password. CloudAccess authenticates a user against your identity sources.
The login page also exposes the authentication extensions of the appliance, such as Google reCAPTCHA.
The URI for the login page is the public DNS name of the appliance. Provide this URl to your users.
https://appliance_dns_name
Authentication code page: The authentication code page requires users to enter a one-time password if a one-time password extension is enabled for one or more applications.
If you enable the same extension for all applications, users see the authentication code page immediately after logging in. Otherwise, they see it when they click any one of the enabled applications.
For example, you can enable an extension for the Time-Based One-Time Password with Google Authenticator or the One-Time Password with the OATH OTP or Smartphone option for NetIQ Advanced Authentication.
Landing page: The landing page contains the appmarks (linked icons) for accessing the applications that a user is entitled to use. The landing page appears after a user enters valid credentials and responds successfully to any additional authentication prompts.
This page displays appmarks for an application only after the related connector is configured properly and if the user has an entitlement for the application. When an authenticated user clicks an appmark, CloudAccess shares identity information about the user with the application in order to establish the user’s session.
In a desktop browser, users can personalize the Card Style used to display appmarks. Right-click the appmark to view or copy the Login URL. Mouse over the appmark to view the application name.
