Juniper ATP Cloud uses a Junos OS operation (op) script to help you configure your vSRX Virtual Firewall to connect to the Juniper Advanced Threat Prevention Cloud (ATP Cloud) service. This script performs the following tasks:

Downloads and installs certificate authority (CAs) licenses onto your vSRX Virtual Firewall.
Creates local certificates and enrolls them with the cloud server.
Performs basic Juniper ATP Cloud configuration on the vSRX Virtual Firewall.
Establishes a secure connection to the cloud server.

To enroll a vSRX Virtual Firewall in Juniper ATP Cloud using the ATP Cloud Web Portal, do the following:

Open a Web browser, type your customer portal URL and press Enter.

The Web UI login page appears as shown in Figure 1. See Table 1 for the customer portal hostname by location.

Table 1: Customer Portal URL
Location	Customer Portal URL
United States	Customer Portal: https://amer.sky.junipersecurity.net
European Union	Customer Portal: https://euapac.sky.junipersecurity.net
APAC	Customer Portal: https://apac.sky.junipersecurity.net
Canada	Customer Portal: https://canada.sky.junipersecurity.net

Based on the Junos OS version that you are running, copy the CLI command from the page. Copy the command to your clipboard and click OK.
Once generated, the op url command is valid for 7 days. If you generate a new op url command within that time period, the old command is no longer valid. (Only the most recently generated op url command is valid.)

You must run the command on the vSRX Virtual Firewall to enroll it. Paste the command into the Junos OS CLI of the vSRX Virtual Firewall that you want to enroll with Juniper ATP Cloud.
Log in to the vSRX Virtual Firewall instance using SSH and start the CLI. The format is ssh -i <path>/<ssh-key-pair-name>.pem ec2-user@<fxpo-elastic-IP-address>
```
user@user~$ssh -i "SB-ES-Key.pem" ec2-user@XX.XXX.XXX.XX
ec2-user@awsvsrx@% cli
ec2-user@awsvsrx@>
```
(Optional) Run the show services advanced-anti-malware status command to see if there are any existing configurations for ATP Cloud.
```
ec2-user@awsvsrx> show services advanced-anti-malware status
No advanced-anti-malware connection url configured.
```
Run the command that you previously copied from the pop-up window. Simply paste the command into the CLI and press Enter.

Note:
You must run the op url command in operational mode.
```
ec2-user@awsvsrx> op url https://<XXXXXXXX>/v2/skyatp/ui_api/bootstrap/enroll/xxxxxxxxxxx.slax
Platform is supported by Sky ATP: VSRX.
Version 21.4R2 is valid for bootstrapping.

Device enrolled successfully!
```
The vSRX Virtual Firewall will make a connection to the ATP Cloud server and begin downloading and running the op scripts. The status of the enrollment appears on screen. After successful enrollment, vSRX Virtual Firewall appears on the Devices page in ATP Cloud portal.

For HA configurations, you only need to enroll the cluster primary. The cloud will detect that this is a cluster and will automatically enroll both the primary and backup as a pair. Both devices, however, must be licensed accordingly. For example, if you want premium features, both devices must be entitled with the premium license.

Note:
Juniper ATP Cloud supports both active-active and active-passive cluster configurations. The passive (non-active) node does not establish a connection to the cloud until it becomes the active node.

(Optional) Run the following command to view additional information:

content_copy zoom_out_map
ec2-user@awsvsrx> request services advanced-anti-malware diagnostics <customer-portal> detail

Example

content_copy zoom_out_map
ec2-user@awsvsrx> request services advanced-anti-malware diagnostics amer.sky.junipersecurity.net detail

Run the show services advanced-anti-malware status command to view the connection status and verify that a connection has been made to the ATP Cloud server from the vSRX Virtual Firewall.
```
ec2-user@awsvsrx> show services advanced-anti-malware status
Server connection status:
  Server hostname: xxx.sky.junipersecurity.net
  Server realm: <ABC realm>
  Server port: XXX
  Proxy hostname: None

```
vSRX Virtual Firewall communicates with the cloud through multiple, persistent connections established over a secure channel (TLS 1.2). The vSRX Virtual Firewall is authenticated using SSL client certificates.
Refresh the Enrolled Devices page in ATP Cloud portal.
The Enrolled Devices page displays the new device information as shown in Figure 4. The Enrolled Devices page displays the basic connection information for all enrolled devices including serial number, model number, tier level (free or not), last activity seen, and license expiration.

Note:
There is a 60 day grace period after the license expires before the vSRX Virtual Firewall is disenrolled from Juniper ATP Cloud.
