Feature Request: Integration of Okta Advanced Server Access for RDP and SSH Connections
0 vote
I am writing to request the integration of Okta Advanced Server Access (formerly known as ScaleFT) into Devolution for managing RDP and SSH connections.
As an organization focused on enhancing our security and efficiency, we have been leveraging Okta's Advanced Server Access to minimize the use of admin accounts for remote server access. This setup has significantly improved our security posture by requiring daily MFA and creating linked local accounts that are disabled upon logoff.
However, our current limitation is the requirement to start RDP/SSH connections using an SFT RDP/SFT SSH server name, which is not currently possible within RDM. Our current workaround is to use command-line entry, which unfortunately involves an external application and results in losing 90% of RDM functionalities.
We believe that this integration would greatly benefit not only our organization but also other Devolution users who are looking to enhance their security and streamline their remote access management.
Thank you for considering this feature request. We look forward to your positive response and are happy to provide any further information or assistance required to facilitate this integration.

Thank you for your detailed feature request regarding the integration of Okta Advanced Server Access for managing RDP and SSH connections within Devolutions. We appreciate the insights you've shared about how this integration could enhance security and efficiency for your organization and potentially others.
We have a team specialized for these types of integrations. We usually face two roadblocks:
1. Prioritization because there are so many potential integrations. This forum is the perfect place to reach the community for more interest.
2. Set up an environment to verify if we can really complete the integration. It's usually easier if you contact the third-party company and ask for their help. If Okta can assist us, we can fast-track. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, and we may need to purchase the actual solution, which could delay development.
Thank you for your interest and your suggestion. I will create the ticket.
Best regards

Not sure if this is still being considered, but we are also switching to Okta using ScaleFT for RDP/SSH connections which makes up the majority of our device connections. It is also being used as our credential manager instead of HashiCorp or CyberArk. Any news on progress would be appreciated.
