What is the best practice for integrated UAG configuration?

KeyDescriptionValueRecommend Value
Connectivity Check IntervalCheck if the compliance server (OPSWAT) is available
  • Valid values (in minutes) - 1 to 120
  • Default value - 0. 0 indicates that the connectivity checks is deactivated.
0
Compliance Check Initial DelayDelay the first compliance check after users are successfully authenticated
  • Valid values (in minutes ) - 1 to 60
  • Valid values (in seconds) - 5 to 3600
  • Default value - 0. 0 indicates that the compliance check initial delay is deactivated.
  • If using Persistent Clients then the value is 0
  • If using On-demand Clients then the value is 5
Compliance Check IntervalThis allows you to configure a periodic time interval at which the Horizon Client sends compliance check request to United Access Gateway during a session
  • Valid values (in minutes) - 5 to 1440
  • Valid values (in seconds) - 30 to 84600
  • Default value - 0. 0 indicates that the compliance check interval is deactivated.

Use the compliance check interval under My OPSWAT Central Management Admin Console \ Settings \ Global \ Device Clients

Compliance Check Fast Interval

This allows you to configure a periodic and frequent time interval at which the Horizon Client sends compliance check requests to Unified Access gateway during a session for an endpoint in specific statuses other than In Compliance. The statuses are:

  • Assessment pending
  • Endpoint unknown

These statuses must be configured as ALLOW.

For example, when the on-demand agent is assessing an endpoint and the device status is either Assessment pending or Endpoint unknown, you can set the time interval to 1 minutes so that the compliance checks are more frequent at the beginning of a session.

  • Valid values (in minutes) - 1 to 1440
  • Valid values (in seconds) - 5 to 84600
  • Default value - 0. 0 indicates that the compliance check fast interval is deactivated.
