Bastionhost:Use the host O&M feature

Limits

• If you use a bastion host of Basic Edition, you can perform O&M operations only by using O&M tokens. You cannot go to a web page to perform O&M operations. For more information about how to obtain an O&M token, see the "Obtain an O&M token" section of the Manage an O&M token topic.

  Note

  • If you want to perform O&M operations on a web page, update the bastion host to Enterprise Edition. For more information, see Update a bastion host.

  • If you are a local user, Active Directory (AD)-authenticated user, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-authenticated user, you can perform O&M operations by using the O&M portal. For more information, see O&M portal.

• A single file that you upload or download cannot be larger than 2 GB when you perform SSH-based O&M operations on a web page.

• File transmission is not supported when you perform Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)-based O&M operations on a web page.

Prerequisites

• An RAM user is imported into your bastion host. For more information, see Manage users.

• The assets that you want to manage and a user are imported to the bastion host. The user is authorized to manage the assets. For more information, see Add hosts and Authorize users or user groups to manage assets and asset accounts.

  Note

  If you want to manage host accounts in Bastionhost, you can create an account for a host. For more information, see Manage a host account.
