Installing SN SSO Agent

Downloading SN SSO Agent

  1. Log in to your MyStormshield personal area.
  2. Go to Downloads,
  3. Under Stormshield Network Security > SSO Agent, download the SN SSO Agent archive for Linux and copy it to the machine on which you want to install it.

Configuring SN SSO Agent

  1. On the target machine, decompress the archive in the folder of your choice. Access to this folder must be restricted for security reasons.
  2. Open the SN SSO Agent configuration file "config.ini".
  3. Edit the following parameters:
Parameter Detail
VerboseLevel

Defines how much information will be logged. Enter low if this parameter is used in production. Use high for the installation phase.

SSLKey

Sets the password that allows the SN SSO Agent to communicate with your firewall. To ensure that this password is complex, we recommend that you use a combination of lowercase, uppercase and special characters, with a minimum required length.

Memorize this password, as you will need to enter it in the configuration of your firewall.

Starting SN SSO Agent

Use the following command to start SN SSO Agent:

./stormshieldssoagent

Manipulate the command to start SN SSO Agent with administrator privileges (sudo) if it needs to use a syslog port lower than 1024.

You can also configure SN SSO Agent to start automatically on the machine. To do so, we recommend that you create a specific service that makes it possible to launch SN SSO Agent automatically during the startup process. There are several solutions, such as via Systemd or /etc/init.d.
