Migration from VPN Considerations

If you are migrating from a VPN solution to Smart Integration Connector, there are items to take into consideration. Use the checklist below to prepare yourself for migrating from VPN to Smart Integration Connector.

NOTE: While migrating, a VPN and Smart Integration Connector can be used in tandem. This allows for A/B testing and validation prior to disconnecting the VPN tunnel.

Checklist Item Complete

Check if your VPN connection is used for securing authentication paths to OneStream. Smart Integration Connector is not providing this capability, however other considerations such as whitelisting IP access are options see Modify Inbound Client Access Rules.

Determine how many VPN connections exist. If OneStream is integrating with data sources from multiple subnetworks, you may have multiple VPN connections.  This configuration can be managed with multiple Local Gateway Servers.

Smart Integration Connector requires the installation and operation of a Local Gateway Service. Make sure you have identified a Virtual Machine or physical server to operate the Local Gateway Server. See Requirements.

Take inventory of what you currently use for example, business rules, workspaces, queries, grid views, drill-backs, and whitelisted endpoints for each plan for any updates needed when using Smart Integration Connector.
Set up a time with your OneStream Cloud Support Representative to plan when the VPN can be disconnected.
