Configure a secure gateway

The new jump integration will give you the possibility to jump through a DMZ zone directly to your server. The requirement is an SSH server connected to your network and the DMZ.

Configure the jump server

  1. Create an SSH Tunnel entry by entering the SSH server information that we have to authenticate through for access to the DMZ zone (#1). Then in the Outgoing Tunnel Settings configure the Mode to Dynamic and the Source to 127.0.0.1 (#2).

  2. A nice feature for Secure Gateway is keeping the Secure Gateway window hidden. To do go to the Advanced tab and check Hide when connection successful.

The Jump server (Secure Gateway) is now configured and ready to use.

Configure the target machine session

We support RDP, SSH Shell, SFTP, FTP, SCP, and Website (session entry) over the Secure Gateway feature.

The configuration contains two steps: the first one is the general configuration, the second step is the Secure Gateway configuration. You will be able to repeat this second step for every additional session that uses the Secure Gateway.

General configuration

  1. Configure the Host, Port, Username, Domain and Password that refer your RDP session (forget the old configuration, do not enter a localhost IP 127.0.0.1).
