Manage application entrances

Entrances define how users access your applications on Olares. For more details, see the Entrance concept.

Each entrance consists of two parts:

• The endpoint: the URL used to access the app. To customize the endpoint, such as setting a custom route ID or domain, see Customize application URLs.
• The access policy: controls who can access the app and which authentication method is required. This page covers access policies.

Understand authentication levels and modes

Access policies control who can access your application and their required authentication method.

Use the following table to choose the right authentication level for each entrance:

Authentication level	Available authentication modes	Access behavior
Public	None	Anyone can open the app without logging in.
Private	System, One Factor, Two Factor	Everyone must authenticate before access.
Internal	System, One Factor, Two Factor	Users on LarePass VPN skip authentication; all other access requires it.

• Authentication level: The overall authentication requirement for the entrance.

  • Public: Accessible to anyone, with no login required.
  • Private: Requires users to log in to access.
  • Internal: No login is required if accessing the application via VPN.

• Authentication mode: The method used for verifying user identity.

  • System: Inherits the system-wide authentication rules defined on the My Olares page.
  • One Factor: Requires only the Olares login password.
  • Two Factor: Requires the Olares login password plus a second verification code.
  • None: No authentication is required for access.
