The User must have sudo access to the system in order to install the ISA App
Step 1: Login to the ISA Portal
If you are unsure about the credentials to login, please contact your organization's IT Team
Step 2: Download the ISA App
Once logged in, you can download the Linux installer by clicking the 'Linux' icon
A Linux executable file (shell script) of the ISA App would get downloaded which could be transferred to the target Linux CLI system.
The installation file for Linux is unique to every user, and tied to the user profile. The installer downloaded for one user must not be used for installation by another user.
Step 3: Install the ISA App
Locate the Linux installation file (shell script) of the ISA App
Type in the command "sudo sh <filename>.sh" without the inverted commas and replace <filename> with the name of the downloaded shell script file
Then hit 'Enter'. You may be prompted for sudo credentials in order to proceed with the installation.
Once completed, you should receive the message 'Installation Complete'.
Step 4: Connect the ISA App
The ISA App will connect automatically. The InstaSafe Logs can be viewed by entering the command "sudo cat /var/log/instasafe*" without the inverted commas in Terminal. These logs indicate the connection status and are useful for troubleshooting any issues that might crop up.
The 'Certificate' Authentication Type would permit the ISA App to connect automatically every time the system boots up
The InstaSafe IP assigned can be checked by using the "ifconfig" command.
With the ISA App connected, you should now be able to access your organization's internal applications as per the Access Policies defined.
It is expected that the Admins of the organization provide all users a list of their individual network entitlements, the respective FQDNs/IP Addresses of the application servers and their login details.
In case you are unable to install the ISA App by following these steps, please contact your organization's IT Team
If you are an Admin of the organization's ISA Account and need assistance, contact InstaSafe Support
