Cloud Secure Edge Getting Started Guide

Configuring ZTNA

SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge authenticates your end users so that they can securely access select websites via their web browsers. Registering a hosted web service allows you to enforce a zero-trust policy when users try to access your internal website or web application.

In addition to the procedure below, you can refer to a video that describes how to configure Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).

To setup ZTNA

  1. Navigate to the document Register a Hosted Website to Users.
  2. Scroll down to Step1: Create a Policy for web access in the Steps to create a hosted Website section.
  3. Follow the directions for creating a Web Policy.
  4. If SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is enabled, assign the users to your Web Policy.

    If SCIM Is not enabled, admins should instruct end users to log into CSE and register their devices. When done, the administrator can assign the end users to the policy.

  5. Complete Step 2: Register the web application as a hosted website.
  6. Complete Step 3: Securely access the hosted website via your device.

To validate that your private resource (for example, the hosted website or SSH service) is protected, navigate to select your Service Name. In your service, select Test Connection (the check icon in the upper right corner of the page). This shows you the status of your connection, detailing whether your domain name or hostname is resolvable and whether the Access Tier and backend port are reachable.
