A remote client is a program, such as a browser or a database client, that runs on an application server to access application assets. You must add a remote client before you can create an application in Bastionhost.
Prerequisites
You have added and deployed an application server. For more information, see Add and deploy an application server.
Limitations
Each application server supports up to 50 remote clients.
Procedure
Log on to the Bastionhost console. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your Bastionhost instance is located.
In the list of Bastionhost instances, find the target instance and click Manage.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose .
-
On the Remote Client tab, click Create Remote Client, configure the parameters as described in the table, and then click OK.
Parameter
Description
Client Name
Enter a custom name. The name must meet the following requirements:
-
Must be 1 to 128 characters long.
-
Must not start with a special character.
-
Can contain only periods (.), underscores (_), hyphens (-), backslashes (\), and spaces.
Application Server
Select the application server where the client is installed.
Client Type
You can configure application usernames, passwords, and destination address access policies only for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Custom applications do not support these features.
Client Path
Enter the full installation path of the remote client on the application server, not on your local computer. For example:
C:\chrome.exe.Parameters
If your client requires runtime parameters at startup, enter them here.
