This article serves to guide you on how to create a Telnet-based application. Please follow the steps listed below to do so.
You need to have admin access to the admin portal. Please check the following KB article regarding Admin access: Safous Admin Portal
Navigate to Settings > ZTNA > Applications > Applications
Click on the New Application button. It will expand to multiple forms that must be filled out for the new application.
(1) Name: Enter a unique name for the application (this is a required field).
(2) Application Address/FQDN/Hostname: Provide the address of your internal business app using IP format (e.g., 192.168.1.100), FQDN (e.g., app1.coba.lan), or hostname (e.g., app1).
(3) Site: This is optional. You can leave it as "all" for a single-site deployment, but for a multisite deployment, it's recommended to choose the correct site based on the application location.
(4) Access URL: This will be automatically created based on the application name, but you can customize the subdomain if desired.
(5) Toggle Visible: By default, this is enabled. If disabled, the app will not appear in the user portal.
(6) Icon: You can customize it by uploading a suitable icon.
(7) Protocols: Ensure this is set to "TELNET".
(8) Port: By default, this will use the standard TELNET port (23), but you can change it if needed.
(9) Single Sign-On Settings is optional and can only be used with the user portal, you can leave it as None (no SSO), or set it to Basic with the options below:
- User logon credentials, can be used if the user's credential for the user portal is registered as the server's credential.
- Prompt user and store in personal vault, it will only ask for the password the first time the user login and then the credential will be saved in the user's Personal Vault.
- Assign secret from vault, can be used after you store a password in the Vault system.
(10) Category is optional, just to make a more organized application type tag, which will use the uncategorized tag by default. For more information, please find here
(11) Set up Policies to be applied to the application.
- Status: Set the status of the policy. Toggle on to enable, toggle off to disable.
- Accounts: Define the entities that should be applied to the policy.
- Condition: Select the access condition that should apply to the policy from the list of available conditions.
- Action: Select the configuration that should apply to the policy for the application based on its protocol from the list of available actions. More information about action can be found in this article: [ZTA] Policies/Actions
Once all the fields have been filled out, click Save.
