Hello,

In the context of a project involving the Netskope agent (ZTNA) and BWAN, we use the SAML Forward proxy component to authenticate users on first login (and periodically).

Today, users are subject to two authentication procedures. As a result, the user experience is degraded.

Is it possible to have a single sign-on between the two Netskope / BWAN agents?

Hi ​@Rohit_Bhaskar it’s more relevant as a feature request than a question. Could you revert it back to an idea? Thanks

Hi @Lionel,

you may think of publishing the BWan gateways as a privateApp.

You configure authentication for NPA, and no authentication for BWan.

So, NPA will authenticate the user, and by the way will secure Bwan connections (no double auth).

Drawback is that you have a tunnel encapsulated in another tunnel.

Benefit is that you do not expose Bwan gateways on Internet, and user experience is better.

This is very interesting - is publishing the BWAN gateways as a privateapp a supported configuration?
