Adding an Infranet Controller to the OAC Configuration 71
Chapter 8
Managing Infranet Controller
Connections
This chapter describes how to add an Infranet Controller to your OAC configuration
and how to connect and sign on to it. It also addresses connecting to and using
multiple Infranet Controllers. If your network does not include an Infranet
Controller, you can skip this chapter.
After installing and running OAC, you can establish an authenticated connection to
one or more Infranet Controllers. Therefore, you need an authentication profile
configured for the Infranet Controller to which you are going to connect. The profile
contains the configuration settings for your connection credentials and the EAP
authentication methods that apply. Best practices recommend that you have an
authentication profile for each Infranet Controller that you use to access protected
network resources. See Adding or Modifying a Profile” on page 38.
The Infranet Controller configuration settings, including those for profiles and
networks, might have been created by your administrator and downloaded as part
of initial settings. For more information about Infranet Controllers and initial
settings, refer to the Unified Access Control Administration Guide.
Adding an Infranet Controller to the OAC Configuration
To add an Infranet Controller:
1. Select Infranet Controllers in the Configuration folder located in the sidebar.
2. In the Infranet Controllers dialog, click Add to set up the configuration for that
Infranet Controller.
3. In the Infranet Controller name field, assign a name for the Infranet Controller
you are adding. Depending on how OAC has been installed on your machine,
this information might be configured already.
NOTE: The initial OAC settings that an Infranet Controller installs on an endpoint
might modify the existing OAC settings on that endpoint if the Infranet Controller
requires OAC version or configuration updates in order to allow a connection. You
may also be prompted to trust one or more servers. Ask your administrator if you
are unsure of which servers to trust.
