Launching connections to thick application clients

In addition to the default modes of launching web-based connections and through native clients, you can define custom application launchers to supply credentials and automatically launch any application, including thick application clients. Basically, you will be creating a profile for each such application capturing the input fields as found in the target application. You can configure the profile with placeholders to replace the required values from Securden repository at the time of launching the connections. You need to navigate to Admin >> Remote Sessions and Recordings >> Custom Application Launcher and configure the profiles. The custom application launcher is explained in detail further in the guide.

Enable Session Recording for Accounts

You can record the various remote privileged sessions initiated by users from Securden’s GUI. The recordings can then be played back as a video. Configuring session recording is a two-step process.

Step 1: Configure session recording globally by navigating to Admin >> Remote Sessions and Recordings >> Session Recording. Specify which type of sessions are to be recorded and the location where the recorded files are to be stored.

Step 2: Switch on session recording at the accounts level or at the folder level. The sessions launched using the accounts for which session recording is switched on will be recorded.

Navigate to the account for which you want to enable session recording. Under Actions, select Configure Session Recording. Once switched on, all the privileged sessions launched by this account from Securden will be recorded and stored in the specified location.

Pre-requisite: Prior to proceeding with the session recording configuration, you should have configured remote gateways mandatorily for Windows and optionally for UNIX devices. You may designate a dedicated, hardened server (Windows or Linux) as the jump box for a select set of devices to route all remote operations originating from Securden. Securden will route remote connections through the respective jump box and start recording sessions.

To enable session recording for multiple accounts at the same time, navigate to Accounts tab and select the required accounts.

Go to More >> Configure Session Recording, select the checkbox, and click Save.
