Add Local User Authentication to a PeSIT Connection

This scenario builds on the basic PeSIT configuration by adding local user authentication to the PNODE connection using information defined in the local user store. The logon ID and password presented by the PNODE are authenticated against information stored in the local user store. The values must match before a connection is established. You must add this information to the local user store before you can test this scenario.

Adding logon ID authentication to the PNODE connection defined in the basic PeSIT configuration involves enabling logon ID authentication and specifying information about the PNODE.

After you configure local logon ID authentication, validate the configuration by establishing a session initiated by a Sterling Connect:Express PNODE.

PeSIT PNODE Connection (Local LogonID Authentication) Worksheet

Before you add local logonID authentication to the PNODE connection you created in the basic PeSIT configuration scenario, gather the information on the PeSIT PNODE Connection (Local LogonID Authentication) Worksheet. Use this information as you configure logonID authentication for the PNODE connection.

In this scenario, you edit the policy you created in the PeSIT basic configuration scenario and enable logonID authentication. You also add a logonID and password for the PeSIT PNODE to the default user store.
