This topic describes the O&M methods that are supported by Bastionhost and how to use Bastionhost to perform O&M operations on assets. This topic is intended for O&M engineers. Bastionhost supports single sign-on (SSO)-based O&M, client-based O&M, and web-based O&M. We recommend that you choose an O&M method based on your daily O&M requirements.
SSO-based O&M
Bastionhost supports SSO-based O&M. You can download an SSO tool and a client tool based on the OS of your on-premises machine, complete the configurations, and then select Local Client Logon for the Logon Method parameter on the asset O&M page. This way, Bastionhost can automatically call the specified local client tool to connect to the assets on which you want to perform O&M operations. For more information, see SSO-based O&M.
Client-based O&M
You can download the O&M client for the OS that you use and log on to your bastion host to perform O&M operations on your server.

Web-based O&M
O&M method | User type | Description | References |
O&M portal-based O&M | Other users | You can log on to the O&M portal to perform O&M operations. You must log on to the O&M portal by using the public O&M address of your bastion host. Then, you can view the assets on which you have permissions and perform O&M operations on the assets. You cannot use the private O&M address of your bastion host to log on to the O&M portal. For more information about how to log on to the O&M portal, see Log on to the O&M portal. | |
Host O&M (console-based O&M) | Resource Access Management (RAM) users | You can perform O&M operations by using the console of your bastion host. You do not need to download an O&M client. You can log on to a server from your browser to perform O&M operations on a web page. To log on to the server, use the host O&M feature in the console of your bastion host. |
