Username
and password
—If you would rather provision your satellites without
manually entering the serial numbers of the satellites into the
portal configuration, you can instead require the satellite administrator
to authenticate when establishing the initial connection to the
portal. Although the portal will always look for the serial number
in the initial request from the satellite, if it cannot identify
the serial number, the satellite administrator must provide a username
and password to authenticate to the portal. Because the portal will
always fall back to this form of authentication, you must create
an authentication profile in order to commit the portal configuration.
This requires that you set up an authentication profile for the
portal LSVPN configuration even if you plan to authenticate satellites
using the serial number.
