Connect by Hostname OR IP-Adress

Connect by Hostname OR IP-Adress

avatar

Hi all,

I regularly want to connect to, for example, RDP or VNC.
One moment this is based on hostname and the other moment by IP address.
This has to do with the way I connect.

With an RDP device I can only specify a "host" (IP or hostname and not both).
Now you can also choose Linked (Vault) and these refer to "Host device".

This "Host device" can again be linked (click on ... right) to a "computer list".

Where can I create this "computer list"?
Is there an easier way?

Regards, Rob

Hello rheijmans,

Thank you for your explanation of the issue!

I believe that the Alternate host option could be what you're looking for! You can find this in the "Description" tab of your entry "Properties" if you change the "Alternate Host" option to "Prompt" when launching the entry you will be prompted to select which "Host" you would like to use in this case allow you to choose between the "IP" or "Hostname".

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when launching the entry:

Hi Samuel,

That is indeed what I am aiming for.
But I don't see where I can enter the various Hosts.

In your screenshot I see "alternate.host1" and host2.
Where did you create this?

Hello Rob,

the Alternate host setting can you find in the Description section from the session:

I notice that you can enter the parameters (host or IP) on different lines in this input field.

This works, Thanks!
