Secure Management Access
Important:
Ensure that you have completed the provisioning of Adaptive Authentication instance. For more information, see Provision Adaptive Authentication.
If you are using PuTTY on Windows to connect to Adaptive Authentication instances, you must convert the downloaded private key to PEM. For details, see https://www.puttygen.com/convert-pem-to-ppk.
It is recommended to use the following command to connect to the Adaptive Authentication instances via the terminal from the MAC or PowerShell/Command prompt from Windows (version 10).
ssh -i <path-to-private-key> authadmin@<ip address of ADC> <!--NeedCopy-->If you want the AD users to access the Adaptive Authentication GUI, you must add them as new administrators to the LDAP group. For details, see https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123782.
For all other configurations, Citrix® recommends that you use the Adaptive Authentication GUI and not the CLI commands.
