The following sections provide examples for using inband destination selection to establish an SSH connection, including scenarios where nonstandard ports or gateway authentication is used.
Since some client applications do not permit the @ and : characters in the username, alternative characters can be used as well:
-
To separate the username and the target server, use the @ or % characters, for example: username%targetserver@scb_address
-
To separate the target server and the port number, use the :, +, or / characters, for example: username%targetserver+port@scb_address
For detailed instructions on configuring inband authentication, see Configuring inband destination selection.
To establish an SSH connection through One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) with PuTTY, follow one of the methods:
Common method
To establish the SSH-connection using the most common method, enter the username, the target server's hostname (or IP address), and the hostname (or IP address) of SPS using the <username>@<server>@<scb> format in PuTTY.
Example
Assuming the following values:
You can enter the following destination in PuTTY:
training1@linux.training.example@scb
Figure 273: Configuring SSH inband destination in PuTTY
Alternative method
To establish the SSH-connection using a different method,
-
Enter only the hostname (or IP address, depending on your configuration) of SPS in PuTTY.
-
At the login prompt, provide the username on the target server, and the target server's hostname (or IP address) using the <username>@<server> format.
To establish an SSH connection through One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS), follow these steps:
-
Enter the following command:
# ssh <username>@<server>@<scb>
...where <username> is the username, <server> is the target server's hostname (or IP address), and <scb> is the hostname (or IP address) of SPS
Example
Assuming the following values:
You can enter the following command:
# ssh training1@linux.training.example@scb
-
Alternative approach:
-
Enter only the hostname (or IP address, depending on your configuration) of SPS:
# ssh <scb>
-
At the login prompt, provide the username on the target server, and the target server's hostname (or IP address) using the <username>@<server> format
The following steps provide instructions for establishing SSH connections with servers that are listening on a non-standard port (the Inband destination selection > Targets > Port option is not 22), and the port number targeted by the clients is also a non-standard port (the To > Port option of the Connection Policy).
-
Enter the following in PuTTY:
-
In the Host Name field, enter the username on the target server, the target server's hostname (or IP address) and port number, and the hostname (or IP address) of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) in the <username>@<server>:<port>@<scb> format
-
In the Port field, enter the port number of the SPS server
Example
Assuming the following values:
-
The username is training1
-
The target server is 192.168.60.100
-
The target server is listening on port 2121
-
The SPS server is scb
-
The SPS server is listening on port 4444
You can enter the following destination hostname in PuTTY:
training1@192.168.60.100:2121@scb
Also change the destination port to the SPS server's port number:
4444
Figure 274: Configuring SSH inband destination for nonstandard ports in PuTTY
-
Alternative approach:
-
Enter only the hostname (or IP address, depending on your configuration) and port number of SPS in PuTTY.
-
At the login prompt, provide the username on the target server, and the target server's hostname (or IP address) and port number using the <username>@<server>:<port> format.
