User Connection Setup

For each resource, you need to configure a user connection that will be used to open a session on the resource.

RDP Connection Setup

• Select RDP Connection type.
• If the connection address is different from the DNS name/IP address, specify it by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
• Enter the Port if it is not the default.
• If you need to open a session with the mstsc /admin parameter, enable the Run as administrator option.

When opening a session, you can select local drives to use in the remote session. It is also possible to connect without redirecting local drive.

User Connection Setup

In Axidian Privilege, RDP and SSH connections are standard. Other connection types, for example, a web session or connection to a DBMS, are configured separately for each target application. Below we will consider examples of configuring a connection to the web console Citrix NetScaler and MS SQL Management Studio. After Axidian Privilege installation, these types of connections will not be in the list of connections. To create a new connection type, you may need to contact Technical Support.

Web Session Setup

• Select Citrix NetScaler Connection type
• Fill in URL of web application
• Fill in Sign-in page URL of web application if different

note

If the Sign-in page URL may not match the specified value after accessing it, then enable the Regular expression option, the option allows you to specify an expression that will match any address value.

DBMS Connection Setup

• Select MS SQL Management Studio connection type
• If the MS SQL Server instance connection address is different from the DNS name/IP address, specify it by selecting the appropriate checkbox
• Enter the Port if necessary
