Creating an SMB-based Application

  • Login to https://portal.safous.com.
  • Go to Settings tab, then select ZTNA.
  • In Application, choose Applications.
  • Click New Application, it will expand multiple forms to be filled for the new application.

    1. Fill in the Name information, which is a required field and must be unique value compared to other applications.
    2. Fill in the Application Address/FQDN/Hostname for your internal business app, which you will map using IP format (e.g., 192.168.1.100), FQDN (e.g., app1.coba.lan), or hostname (e.g., app1).
    3. Select Site is optional as you can leave it using "all", but for multisite deployment, it is recommended to choose the correct site based on the application location.
    4. Access URL will be automatically created based on the Name, but it is customizable. 
    5. Enable/Disable visibility of the application in the User Portal. If disabled, the application will not appear in the User Portal but can still be accessed using its Access URL.

    6. Upload the Icon, if needed. 

    7. Input Category to ease the management of the application.

    8. Choose SMB under Protocols.

    9. Port: By default, it will use the standard SMB port (445), but you can change it.

    10. Share Name is required if the product you are using does not allow any root shared directory. Please check the official documentation from the vendor/product you use (e.g., for Windows shared folder: Users/lab-user/Downloads/share10).

    11. Select whether to use SSO or not.

    12. If using SSO, select the user credentials used.

    13. If using secrets from Vault, then choose the credentials.
  • Once every field has been filled and chosen, click Save.
