2.1.1 SSO to Windows Session Using Privileged Account Manager Proxy

These are remote desktop sessions to target computers through Privileged Account Manager proxy where Privileged Account Manager does a single sign on as a privileged user.

To launch the Windows SSO session:

  1. You can launch a Windows session by clicking either of the following:

    • Resource Name: Allows you to select the display resolution of the RDP session to the target machine and add session notes before launching the session.

    • The Icon: Allows you to download launch the session.

    An RDP file is downloaded after you click either of the above.

  2. Save and open the RDP file to launch the session.

    The downloaded RDP file is valid only for 1 minute. After 1 minute, repeat the above steps to download a new RDP file. These RDP files are not deleted automatically. Hence, after using delete these files manually.

Launching Live Session Using RDP Web Relay

Privileged Account Manager now allows administrators to provision privilege access without a need for an agent on the target host, which the provisioned users can access without the need of any client application, from within their browsers. You can launch the session using the icon which allows you to launch the live session for RDP web relay. You can now monitor all the live sessions using Active Sessions.
