This way, Bastionhost can automatically call the specified local client tool to connect to the assets on which you want to perform O&M operations. For more information, see SSO-based O&M.

  3. Optional. If two-factor authentication is enabled for bastion host users, the O&M administrator must follow the on-screen instructions to select a two-factor authentication method.

    For information about how to configure two-factor authentication for bastion host users as an administrator, see Enable two-factor authentication.

  4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Hosts.

  5. In the bastion host list, find the bastion host that you want to manage, select an asset account and a logon method in the Remote Connection column, and then click Log On.

    If you use a Basic edition bastion host, you can view only the O&M portal page. You cannot perform O&M operations.
