Multiple sessions on a single host. how to optimise with SSH Tunnels.

Good day,

I'm currently working in trial mode in a teams environment.
I'm using SSH tunnels to access remote resources.
This works fine following this guide ( How to Configure a Secure Gateway in Remote Desktop Manager - The Devolutions Blog )

Now,
Several of my hosts have multiple services. SSH, RDP, WEB Etc.
Since I'm hoping to simplify things and not create to many objects for this, I was told that I should be using Host's, and work with templates.

I've been trying to get this to work...
When I configure the "VPN/SSH/Gateway" on the host object.
The option "Use over secure gateway" is unavailable on the host object.
I'm also unsure on how to configure the templates to work over the tunnel.

As I can't find a guide on this. I'm hoping to find some information here.
Thanks if anyone can help.

I got this to work the following way.

Configure the SSH gateway on the folder.
Inherit VPN/SSH/Gateway settings on the Host object.
Leave the host custom (not inherit) on the template and don't add an IP.

This is a bit strange, but I understand the logic.
I then tried to use this on for example an Idrac, the logic changed an I was unable to make it work.
On a website I was able to make it work for the basic interface. (But an Idrac is more then a website, multiple ports (5900/tcp) require redirecting, so this did not work).

This looks partially implemented, or perhaps just no documented.
The original link documents the most simple use case, but for the rest you have to brute force the system.

Hello,

Glad you were able to solve the issue on your own. We have documentation for more generic cases, such as https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_how_configure_vpn_multiple_sessions.html for the VPN/SSH Gateway and https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_folders_and_dynamic_variables.html for variables.

It would be hard to cover all the cases, but you can always write to us at service@devolutions.net if you need additional help!

Best regards,

Richard Boisvert
