Set up Portnox Connect

In this topic, you will learn how to make Portnox™ Connect available for your users.

Note:
Portnox Connect works in connection with the Portnox self-onboarding portal. To make Portnox Connect available for your users, you must also turn on the self-onboarding portal. That’s why this topic also contains information about turning on the self-onboarding portal. If you don’t want your users to use the self-onboarding portal, do not share the portal URL with them, only share the Portnox Connect download URL.
  1. In the Cloud portal top menu, click on the Settings option.

  2. In the Cloud portal left-hand side menu, click on the Services > GENERAL SETTINGS > Self Onboarding option.

  3. In the Self Onboarding section, click on the Edit link.

  4. Activate the Enable the Self Onboarding Portal checkbox.
  5. Optional: If you want Cloud account users to be able to use their existing accounts as well as create new Cloud accounts, in the Access method section, choose the Any user option.

  6. In the Portnox Connect section, activate the Give end users the option to onboard using Portnox Connect checkbox.

    Note:
    This will also add a button in the self-onboarding portal, which will let users download and use Portnox Connect.
  7. Click on the Save button to save the settings.
  8. In the Portnox Connect URL section, click on the  ⧉  icon to copy the URL and share it with your users.

    Note:
    The URL for downloading Portnox Connect doesn’t change. You can use your company’s link shortening services or redirects to create a URL that is easier for your users to remember and access.
Note:
Network configurations generated by Portnox Connect have MAC randomization disabled to prevent issues where a single device might consume multiple licenses.
