How to perform an SSH connection via Terminal Proxy

Prev Next

You can access remote devices using the Segura® Terminal Proxy. This process involves first accessing the Segura® Platform environment, and then initiating an SSH or Telnet session to the target device.

Requirements

  • An SSH client installed on your workstation.
  • A user account for access to the Segura® Platform.

Step 1: Access the Segura® Platform

The first step is to establish an SSH connection from your machine to the Segura® server.

  1. Open your operating system's terminal or SSH client.
  2. Type the connection command in the format below, using port 4022:
    ssh -p 4022 segura_user%saas_tenant@segura_instance

Initial Access Parameters

Item Description
segura_user The username to access the Segura® Platform.
segura_instance The provided access URL for your Segura® environment.
saas_tenant The identifier name of your tenant (e.g., corporation_tenant).

Step 2: Navigate the Segura® Terminal Proxy

After authentication, you will be inside the Segura® Terminal Proxy. This secure environment allows you to manage your connections.

  1. To list all available commands and get help, type list and press Enter key.
  2. The system will display the allowed command options and the devices you can access, reflecting the access policy of your user.

Step 3: Connect to the target device

Within the Segura® Terminal Proxy, you can execute the command to access the final device using the credentials you have permission for.

  1. At the Segura® Terminal Proxy prompt, type the command according to the desired protocol:
    1. For SSH: ssh credential@target_device or ssh credential@IP.
    2. For Telnet: telnet credential@target_device or telnet credential@IP.
  2. Press the Enter key.
Item Description
credential The credential username that will be used to access the target device.
target_device or IP Hostname or IP address of the target device.
Attention

Depending on your operating system, it may be necessary to use the backslash () before special characters in the initial command for it to work correctly.

If you use applications that do not have interactive prompts or want to perform a direct connection without going through the Segura® Terminal Proxy CLI, you can configure a connection via Multi-hop. More information in How to Perform an SSH Multi-hop Connection via Terminal Proxy.
