Tutorials

These tutorials help you deploy and manage a Bastion Cloud Temple from the Console.

Prerequisites​

  1. Subscribe to the Cloud Temple product (Appliance Bastion subscription).
  2. The devices to be managed must be accessible from the network where the Appliance Bastion is deployed.
  3. Have permissions for the Bastion module.
  4. For an on-premise Appliance deployment, the corresponding traffic flows must be allowed.

Interface​

Once logged into the Console web portal, go to the "Bastion" tab in the left menu.

The « Devices » tab allows you to view the list of your devices. A device corresponds to a configuration of connection via a Bastion Appliance. For each device, its name, tags, description, associated Appliance, connection type (SSH ou RDP), host IP, and finally the keyboard layout are displayed.

You can filter the list of your devices by their assigned tags, and a search bar allows you to search for a session by its name.

The « Appliances » tab displays the list of your Bastion Appliances. For each Appliance, its name and description are specified.

A search bar is available to allow you to search for an Appliance by its name.

Deploy an Appliance​

Before you can deploy an Appliance, you must submit an Appliance subscription request via a support request.

Open a connection to a device​

In the "Appliances" tab, click on the action bar of the Appliance you want to open. Then click the "Open" button.

Then fill in the information required for the connection:

  • Protocol selection (SSH or RDP);
  • IP address of the host to manage;
  • Credentials;
  • Keyboard layout.

Then click "Connect" to open the Appliance. The console of the virtual machine to manage will then open.

Register an Equipment​

To regularly access an equipment for administration, it is recommended to create an equipment configuration, which will only require your username and password upon each connection.

To do this, go to the « Equipment » tab in the « Bastion » menu, then click the « New equipment » button.

Then, fill in the information required to create your equipment:

  • Equipment name;
  • Description;
  • Associated appliance;
  • Protocol type (SSH or RDP);
  • Host IP address;
  • Keyboard language.

A notification indicating the creation of your equipment configuration should appear in the top right corner of the page. The configuration is then added to your equipment list.

To create a new connection, you can also go through the « Appliances » tab by clicking on the action bar of the Appliance to which you want to associate an equipment configuration.

Connect to a device​

Navigate to the "Devices" tab in the "Bastion" tab. Click on the action bar of the device you want to open, and click the "Open" button.

Each time you connect to the device, you only need to provide your authentication credentials.

After entering your credentials, a notification confirming the start of the session appears, and the console to your virtual machine opens.

Modify an equipment configuration​

Navigate to the "Equipment" tab in the "Bastion" section, click on the action bar of the equipment you want to modify, and click the "Edit" button.

You can then modify the equipment name, its description, the associated Appliance, the protocol (SSH or RDP), the host IP address, or the keyboard language.

Delete an equipment configuration​

Go to the "Equipment" tab in the "Bastion" section, click on the action bar of the equipment you want to delete, and click the "Delete" button.
