License Installation - Unified license (Version >= 11.3.0)

Starting with version 11.3.0 a Unified license is available: a single license file that contains and activates all purchased Oplon products for your instance. If your appliance runs version >= 11.3.0, install the Unified license and you do not need to load module licenses individually.

Steps:

  1. Open the top-left menu and click the gear icon to access Settings.
  2. Select Install License.
  3. Upload the .xml file of the Unified license.
  4. Perform Save and Re‑Init to apply changes.

License Installation (Version < 11.3.0)

If you are running a release older than 11.3.0, install individual licenses:

  • the Catalog license (Node license)
  • and the ADC/module licenses required (e.g. Platform, Standard HA, Enterprise HA)

Ensure that on releases < 11.3.0 you load the Catalog license first, then each module license as needed. After installing licenses perform Save and Re‑Init.

Install Catalog License

  1. Open the top-left menu and click the gear icon to access Settings.
  2. Select Install License.
  3. Upload the Catalog .xml license file.

Install Platform License (or other ADC)

  1. Go to Modules > ADC & GLB.
  2. Select the target ADC (e.g. Platform) using the arrow next to its name.
  3. Click Actions > Install License.
  4. Upload the ADC .xml license file.

Quick Setup (Version >= 11.0.0)

Starting from version 11.0.0 of Oplon, you can skip the entire “Manual Setup” process. Just follow the steps below, which automatically include the required rewrite rule configuration.

  1. Go to ADC Settings > Listener
  2. Locate the SecureAccess listener (already preconfigured)
  3. Enable the listener by clicking the blue icon:

Enabling SecureAccess listener
  1. Set Enable to true and configure the desired listening IP address
  2. Click Save, then Reinit to apply changes

Listener configuration

Quick Setup also includes the basic MFA setup.
You will still need to manually import the certificates and customize the 2faGeneric rewrite rule, as explained in:

Manual Setup (All Versions)

⚠️ If you’re using Oplon version 11.0.0 or later, it’s recommended to follow the Quick Setup, which automates most of the configuration.

This section is intended for those who:

  • are using an older version of Oplon
  • or prefer to perform a fully customized and manually controlled setup

Manual Setup walks you through the essential configuration steps — like rewrite rules and listeners — which are automatically applied in the Quick Setup.
This is the recommended method for advanced environments, in-depth testing, or scenarios where default settings must be avoided.

ADC configuration for Shared Folders and Trusted Connections

Shared Folders and Trusted Connections, besides the resource configuration described in Configuration of Oplon Secure Access, require a few elements to be present on the ADC module:

  • the dedicated endpoints in the Secure Access grouping;
  • for Trusted Connections, a dedicated Layer 4 listener for tunneling.

On an installation >= 11.3.0 configured through Quick Setup, or by copying the templates as described in Manual Setup, these elements are already present and already correct: the following sections therefore mostly serve as a verification checklist. Creating them manually is only required when coming from an installation prior to 11.3.0, where these endpoints did not exist.

Shared Folders on Oplon ADC

Grouping endpoint (Shared Folders)

Verify that the /api/sf/verify-token endpoint is present and enabled in the Secure Access grouping, with the LBLWebDavConnector rewrite rule applied.

If the endpoint is missing, create it by cloning the /api endpoint and customizing it with the required values.

Reverse proxy to the WebDAV backend

For the url configured on the Shared Folder to be reachable, the ADC must reverse‑proxy to the WebDAV backend applying the LBLWebdavConnector rewrite rule.

Minimum steps:

  1. create (or reuse) the virtual domain, for example https://sales.drive.acme.net;
  2. apply the LBLWebdavConnector rewrite rule on the route.

Make sure to provide a valid SSL/TLS certificate for the reverse‑proxied domain (for example sales.drive.acme.net). A proper certificate avoids browser warnings and ensures secure connections between clients and the ADC.

If MFA is active on the same listener or grouping, you must set the MFA rewrite rule to NOP (as shown in the screenshot).

Reverse proxy route to the WebDAV backend

Trusted Connections on Oplon ADC

Dedicated tunneling listener

To use at least one Trusted Connection you must set up a dedicated tunneling listener on the ADC module.

  1. Go to ADC Settings > Listeners and enable View Template Listeners.
  2. Look for the template named Trusted Connections listener and use the Copy button to copy it into the target ADC module.
  3. Open the listener you just copied and set the desired address and listener PORT for tunneling.
  4. If the tunnel requires SSL termination or re‑entry, associate the appropriate certificate (keystore/alias) to the listener and enable the SSL options before saving.
  5. Perform Save and Re-Init of the ADC module.

This listener operates at Layer 4 and has the LBLRWL4P2P rewrite rule applied.

Layer 4 listener for Trusted Connections

Grouping endpoints (Trusted Connections)

Verify that the two endpoints /api/p2p and /api/p2p/verify-token are present and enabled in the Secure Access grouping, configured as follows:

AddressPortURI PathRW Header Rules
127.0.0.12222/api/p2pLBLP2PConnector 2faGeneric;NOP
127.0.0.12222/api/p2p/verify-tokenLBLP2PConnector

If the endpoints are missing, create them by cloning the /api endpoint and customizing them with the values above.

The /api/p2p and /api/p2p/verify-token endpoints in the Secure Access grouping

Make sure to provide a valid SSL/TLS certificate for the reverse‑proxied domain. A proper certificate avoids browser warnings and ensures secure connections between clients and the ADC.

Tunnel timeout and advanced parameters

In the Trusted Connections listener you can set the protocol parameter to trusted-connection, thus getting a client timeout of 12 hours (the default is 7 and a half minutes). If the connection stays idle beyond that limit, it is closed automatically.

In the L4.conf configuration file, contained in the conf folder of the ADC module (platform, standardHA or enterprise), you can specify additional rules:

ParameterValueDescription
TRUST_CONN_TRACEtrue / falseEnables or disables verbose logs for debugging.
TRUST_CONN_LEASE_TIME_CUT_CONNmillisecondsConnection timeout. When set, the minimum between this value and the one derived from the listener protocol is applied.
TRUST_CONN_INTERVAL_TO_TOUCHmillisecondsHow often the traffic check that resets the connection timeout is performed.

Verifying the ADC configuration

After performing Save and Re-Init of the ADC module, check the following points before configuring the resources on the Secure Access side:

What to checkWhereExpected result
/api/sf/verify-token endpointADC Settings > Grouping, Secure Access groupingpresent and enabled, with the LBLWebDavConnector rewrite
/api/p2p and /api/p2p/verify-token endpointsADC Settings > Grouping, Secure Access groupingpresent and enabled, with the rewrite rules in the table above

SSL/TLS certificatesaffected listeners and routesvalid, not expired and matching the published domains
MFA rewrite rule on the WebDAV routeShared Folder routeset to NOP when MFA is active on the same listener or grouping

If a mount or a tunnel does not start even though the ADC configuration is correct, the problem is almost always on the workstation side: see the Troubleshooting section of the Oplon Client guide.

Automatic Module Startup

If you’re installing Oplon Secure Access for the first time, it’s essential to configure the automatic startup of the following modules:

  • R00_DesktopBridge
  • R00_SshBridge
  • R10_RemoteAccessGateway
  • A10_LBLGoPlatform (or alternative ADCs)

In this example, we’ll show how to configure the R10_RemoteAccessGateway module. The process is the same for the other modules.

How to Enable Automatic Startup for the R10_RemoteAccessGateway Module

  1. Go to Modules > All Modules and use the search bar to find R10_*. Once you find the module, click the blue button:

  2. On the module page, open the General Start Parameters menu and set the Module Start field to automatic.

Saving the Changes

After applying all the necessary changes, save them and proceed with a reinit to apply:

Verifying Proper Operation

To verify that everything is working correctly, open a browser and enter the following address:

https://<ip_address>:443

Depending on your configuration (with or without MFA), you’ll see one of the following:

  • The MFA login screen, with a redirect to super.oplon.cloud.
  • The Secure Access screen, which may display various errors due to missing MFA configuration. You can configure MFA from the appropriate section if needed: MFA Setup.
