A remote client is a browser or desktop application — such as Google Chrome or a database client tool — installed on an application server. Bastionhost uses it as the launch point for controlled access to applications running on that server. Before creating applications in your bastion host, register at least one remote client.
Only remote clients with Client Type set to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox support application account configuration and access policies.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
An application server added and deployed in the Bastionhost console. For setup instructions, see Add and deploy an application server.
Limits
Each application server supports up to 50 remote clients.
Register a remote client
Log on to the Bastionhost console. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your bastion host resides.
In the bastion host list, find the target bastion host and click Manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Applications.
On the Remote Client tab, click Create Remote Client, configure the parameters, and then click OK.
