Configuring the Replay Session to Use Authentication

If a replay session is configured to use authentication, the source LogLogic ST Appliance must present an authentication key to the destination LogLogic LX Appliance.

The LogLogic LX Appliance asks for authentication only if the LogLogic ST Appliance is configured as an upstream device with an authentication key. If the LogLogic LX Appliance is configured without authentication, any upstream device can connect without requiring an authentication key. However, the LogLogic LX Appliance does not need to send an authentication key to the LogLogic ST Appliance.

Procedure

  1. Run system keycopy. See system Command.
  2. When you schedule a replay session, select the Authentication Required check box. See Scheduling a Replay Session.
    Note: If a key mismatch with an authenticated channel prevents the LogLogic ST Appliance from connecting to the LogLogic LX Appliance, an error message is captured in the sys.log file for both appliances.

What to do next

Auto-Identify Turned On in the LogLogic LX Appliance
If auto-identify is turned on in the destination LogLogic LX Appliance, any forwarding appliance (source LogLogic ST Appliance) can connect without sending an authentication key. However, if the upstream device is configured on the destination LogLogic LX Appliance with an authentication key, the key must match the key from the source LogLogic ST Appliance.
Auto-Identify Turned Off in the LogLogic LX Appliance
If auto-identify is turned off in the destination LogLogic LX Appliance, only configured upstream devices can connect to the LogLogic LX Appliance. If the LogLogic LX Appliance also is configured to use an authentication key, the key must match the key from the source LogLogic ST Appliance.
