Configuring vFoglight settings

If you provide vFoglight information in the Core settings, the Core Console displays a vFoglight URL for each protected VM on its Summary page. Clicking this URL opens information about the VM in vFoglight.

Complete the following steps to integrate your vFoglight server with your Rapid Recovery Core server.

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings] (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click vFoglight.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the vFoglight heading.

      The vFoglight configuration settings are displayed.

  3. Modify the vFoglight settings as described in the following table.
    Table 37: vFoglight connection settings information
    Text Box Description
    Use https Enables or disables secure hypertext transfer protocol. Secure HTTPS is the default.
    Host Enter a host name or IP address for your vFoglight server. Consult your vFoglight server administrator for details.
    Port Specify the appropriate port. The default port is 32896. Consult your vFoglight server administrator for details.
    Authentication token Provide the proper authentication to let the Core communicate with your vFoglight server. Consult your vFoglight server administrator for details.
  4. For each setting, when satisfied with your changes, click [Check mark] to save the change and exit edit mode, or click [Check mark] to exit edit mode without saving.

Configuring SAML settings

To integrate your SAML single sign-on authentication identity provider (IdP) server with your Rapid Recovery Core server, complete the following steps.

NOTE: Before you configure SAML settings in Rapid Recovery, you must enable SAML with a compatible IdP. For more information, see Understanding SAML single sign-on.

NOTE: Rapid Recovery Core supports two types of authentication: Windows-based and SAML-based. The Core uses Windows-based authentication by default. After you enable SAML, the Core begins to use SAML-based authentication.

Caution: After you configure the SAML settings, you must restart theRapid Recovery Core Service for the changes to take effect. Before you restart the Core Service, you must complete all of the steps in the configuration procedure. If you restart the Core service before completing the SAML configuration, the Core Console becomes inaccessible.

To configure SAML settings

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings] (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click SAML.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the SAML heading.

      The SAML configuration settings are displayed.

  3. Next to Enable configuration, select Yes.
  4. Copy or take note of the following information provided by Rapid Recovery Core:
    • Sign on URL
    • Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)
    • Logout URL
  5. Go to your IdP.
  6. On the Single Sign-on or SAML page, paste or enter the Rapid Recovery information in the corresponding areas.
  7. On the same page of your IdP, copy or take note of the following information:
    • Metadata URL (Issuer URL)
    • Audience (Entity ID)
  8. If you have token encryption enabled, upload the certificate file and provide the password.
  9. Return to the Rapid Recovery Core Settings page.
  10. In the SAML section, paste or enter the Metadata URL and Entity ID that you copied from the IdP.

    For each setting, when satisfied with your changes, click [Check mark] to save the change and exit edit mode, or click [Check mark] to exit edit mode without saving.

  11. Modify the SAML settings as described in the following table. For each setting, when satisfied with your changes, click [Check mark] to save the change and exit edit mode, or click [Check mark] to exit edit mode without saving.

    Find the following details on the SAML page of your IdP.

    Table 38: SAML connection settings information
    Text Box Description
    Enable configuration Select Yes.
    Metadata URL Enter the metadata URL from your IdP. This URL provides an endpoint on the Rapid Recovery Core that Rapid Recovery uses to furnish keys and additional SAML endpoints to the IdP.
    Entity ID Enter the entity ID from the IdP. This URL serves as the identifier that represents the Rapid Recovery Core server, and should be the same as the Entity ID on the IdP.
    Signature algorithm If using a certificate, select the signature algorithm from the following options:
    • RSA-SHA1
    • RSA-SHA256
    • RSA-SHA384
    • RSA-SHA512
    Certificate validation Select the validation you want to use from the following options:
    • None
    • ChainTrust
    • PeerOrChainTrust
    • PeerTrust
    Enabled token encryption Select whether to enable token encryption.

    NOTE: Not all IdPs support token encryption.

  12. If you enabled token encryption, the Certificate option appears.
  13. Next to Certificate, click Upload and complete the following steps:
    1. In the Upload certificate window, upload the certificate file by clicking Choose File.
    2. Enter the password for the certificate.
    3. Click Continue.
  14. To run a validation of the current settings and confirm the login with the IdP, click Check SAML.
  15. To return the settings to their original state, click Reset.
  16. To apply the SAML settings, restart the Core service.

Protecting machines

This section describes how to protect, configure, and manage the protected machines in your Rapid Recovery environment.

Topics include:

About protecting machines with Rapid Recovery

To protect your data using Rapid Recovery, you need to add the workstations, servers, desktop, and laptop machines you want to protect to your Rapid Recovery Core.

In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, using one of the Protect Machine wizards, you can identify the machines you want to protect. You can do the following:

  • Protect a single machine using the Protect Machine wizard, which connects to the machine using network hostname or IP address. For more information about how to protect a single machine, see Protecting a machine.
  • Protect a network cluster using the Protect Cluster wizard, which connects to the cluster and its nodes using network hostname or IP address. For more information about how to protect a cluster, see Protecting a cluster.
  • Protect multiple machines simultaneously using the Protect Multiple Machines wizard. This wizard lets you connect to the machines associated with a Microsoft Active Directory server; machines on a vCenter or ESXi host; or to machines on a Hyper-V host or a Hyper-V cluster. You can also manually enter connection information (network hostname or IP address, username and password) for multiple machines. For more information about how to protect multiple machines, see About protecting multiple machines.

NOTE: Quest recommends limiting the number of machines you protect simultaneously to 50 or fewer, to preclude experiencing resource constraints that may cause the protect operation to fail.

When identifying your protection requirements for a single machine in the wizard, you can specify which volumes to protect. When you protect multiple machines, all volumes are protected by default. (You can change this later on an individual machine basis).

When protecting a virtual machine on a vCenter/ESXi or Hyper-V host, you must define whether to protect the machine using the Rapid Snap for Virtual feature or by installing Rapid Recovery Agent. For more information, see Factors when choosing agent-based or agentless protection.

The wizard also lets you define a customized schedule for protection (or re-use an existing schedule).

Using advanced options, you can add additional security measures by specifying or applying an encryption key to backups for the machines you want to protect.

Finally, if one does not already exist, you can define a repository using the wizard.

After installing the Agent software, each machine must be restarted after installation.

For more information on how to protect workstations and servers, see Protecting a machine.
