Generating a One-Time Password for Communication with SA Series SSL VPN and IC Series Unified Access Control Appliances (ACM Procedure)

In a Juniper Networks coordinated threat control deployment, the IDP Series appliance sends logs to an SA Series appliance. In a secure collaboration deployment, the IDP appliance communicates with an IC Series appliance.

To enable authenticated communication between the IDP Series appliance and SA Series or IC Series appliance, you use Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) to set a one-time password (OTP) used by the SA Series or IC Series appliance to establish the initial session.

See the IDP Concepts and Examples Guide for details on how the IDP appliance is deployed in a coordinated threat control or secure collaboration deployment.

To generate a one-time password:

  1. Connect to ACM.
  2. From the ACM main menu, click Reconfigure Management Server and IDP IVE Communication.
  3. Select Reset IVE OTP?
  4. Click Next Step.

    A new OTP is generated and displayed in the IVE OTP field of the Final Configuration Report.

  5. Click Confirm Configuration to save the new IVE OTP.
  6. If you are not the SA Series or IC Series administrator, give the one-time password to them.

    The IDP device forwards logs to the SA Series or IC Series device based on the SA Series or IC Series configuration.
