Connecting to a Target Device
Some vault accounts also let you connect directly to the target device, using Connect to target device. This screen has two tabs: Connect to target device and Check out Password.
On the Connect to target device tab, choose how to select the device:
- Connect Existing Device: connect using a device already associated with this account.
- Connect Another Device: connect to a different device by entering its address.
If you select Connect Another Device, fill in:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
IP Address / Domain Name | Select the device from the list, or type its IP address or domain name manually. Typing an address always works, even if no device realm is configured for you. |
Access Protocol | The protocol to connect with. |
Port Number | The port to connect on. |
Then click Connect.
The device list under IP Address / Domain Name shows only devices within your device realm. Kron PAM also filters this list by the account's vault strategy: SSH-strategy accounts list only devices that support SSH; WinRM-strategy accounts list devices in RDP protocol scope; Active Directory / LDAP-strategy accounts list only devices that have a domain defined and support SSH or RDP.
