1.0 Introduction
The Juniper® Networks SA Series SSL VPN Appliances enable remote and mobile employees, customers, and
partners to gain secure access to corporate Virtual Private Network resources and applications. Providing secure
access via a VPN over existing Internet connections requires strong, two-factor authentication to protect
resources. The ActivIdentity solutions that work with Juniper Networks incorporate SSL VPN solutions with
versatile, strong authentication that is flexible, scalable, and simple to manage.

2.0 Juniper Secure Access Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure Juniper Secure Access for use with ActivIdentity CMS. When a user
signs into a Juniper SA Series appliance, the user specifies an authentication realm, which is associated with a
specific authentication server. The Juniper SA Series appliance forwards the user’s credentials to this
authentication server to verify the user’s identity.
You will create a new authentication server (a certificate server).
2.1 Procedure 1: Create New Certificate Server Instance
To define a certificate server instance, perform the following steps (this will create a new certificate server
instance on the SA Series SSL VPN appliance).
Getting Started
1. In the Admin
console, expand the
Authentication
menu, and then
click Auth. Servers.
2. From the New drop-down list, select Certificate
Server, and then click New Server.
The following dialog is displayed.

2.2 Procedure 2: Define Juniper User Role(s)
A user role is an entity that defines user session parameters, personalization settings, and enabled access
features.
1. From the Admin console, expand the Users menu, point to User Roles, and then click New User Role.
2. Configure the new user role according to your requirements.
