Connect your Microsoft Hyper-V applications with Zero Trust Secure Access Private Access and prevent unauthorized intrusions.

Private Access Connectors connect your internal applications with Zero Trust Secure Access Private Access, which allows you to control access to sensitive corporate resources. To ensure high availability (HA) and facilitate load-balancing on high traffic apps, install and group together at least 2 connectors in each environment. Before attempting to deploy the Private Access Connector, ensure that your environment meets the minimum system requirements.

Procedure

  1. Download the Private Access Connector virtual appliance image.
    1. In the Trend Vision One console, go to Zero Trust Secure Access → Secure Access Configuration → Private Access Configuration.
    2. To deploy to a new group, create a Private Access Connector group.
      1. Click Add Private Access Connector Group.
      2. Provide a unique name and description for the group.
      3. Click Save and Continue.
    3. To deploy to an existing group, find the Connector group in the list and click the New connector (add-connector.jpg) icon.
    4. In the Private Access Connector Virtual Appliance panel, select Microsoft Hyper-V from the Platform list.
    5. Click Download Disk Image to download the ZIP file.
    6. Verify that the file name and extension are: TrendMicroVisionOne-PrivateAccessConnector.zip
    7. Copy the Registration token.
  2. Create a virtual machine from the Private Access Connector image.
    1. On the device you downloaded the image to, extract the Private Access Connector image from the ZIP file.
    2. Open your Microsoft Hyper-V Manager console.
    3. In the Actions panel, click Import Virtual Machine....

  3. Power on the Private Access Connector virtual machine and configure settings in the Command Line Interface (CLI).
    1. In the Microsoft Hyper-V console, find and select the Private Access Connector virtual machine.
    2. In the Actions panel, click Start to power on the virtual machine.
    3. Click Connect... to open the virtual machine console.

    4. Sign in to the Private Access Connector virtual appliance with the default credentials.
      • User name: admin
      • Password: saseztna
    5. In the Command Line Interface (CLI), type passwd and press ENTER to change the password.
      Note
      Note
      • The new password cannot be the same as the default password.
      • The admin user and privileged mode share the same password.
    6. Switch to privileged mode with the enable command, and provide the updated password when prompted.
      The command prompt changes from > to #.
    7. To check the network configuration, type the ifconfig command.
      Note
      Note
      The default IP assignment method is DHCP. If your company does not use a DHCP server, use the Private Access Connector CLI commands to configure your network settings manually.
      You can use the assigned IP address to sign into the virtual appliance via SSH.
    8. To configure the time zone manually, type the configure timezone <timezone> command.
      Note
      Note
      The default time zone is America/Los_Angeles.
    9. Verify NTP settings.
      1. To check current NTP server settings, type the show ntp server command.
      2. Type the show ntp status command to check that the virtual appliance can connect to the NTP server.
      3. To change the NTP server, type the configure ntp server <address> command.
      Note
      Note
      • The Private Access Connector requires a connection with an NTP server to synchronize the system clock. The default setting is the public NTP server 0.pool.ntp.org.
      • To allow access to public NTP servers, verify that your firewall is configured to allow outbound UDP traffic on port 123.
      • After configuring the NTP, it may take several minutes for the virtual appliance to connect and synchronize with the NTP server. While the virtual appliance is synchronizing, checking the NTP status may return an incorrect or unsuccessful status.
    10. Register the Private Access Connector virtual appliance to Trend Vision One with the register <registration_token> command using the registration token you copied from the Trend Vision One console.
      Note
      Note
      • If your environment uses a local NTP server, verify that the NTP server synchronizes with the local time to ensure successful registration.
      • Trend Micro recommends using an SSH client to perform registration, as you can easily copy and paste the registration token.
    11. Use the Private Access Connector CLI commands to configure other settings as required.
      After successful deployment, the Private Access Connector virtual appliance appears under the corresponding connector group on the Private Access Connectors tab on the Trend Vision One console.
