accessing machines via a gateway

accessing machines via a gateway

Hi,
wondering how I can solve the following situation in the most simple way, pref running the tools within rdm:
- remote server I need to manage via RDP
- remote machine I can only access via a gateway machine on the customer site. This gateway machine I can access via rdp from my local machine when offsite
- on the gateway machine I have restricted privileges, but I can run non-installable software like remote desktop manager
- currently I work with an rdp session within a rdp session (both using rmd), however, I would prefer to use rdp session on my local machine

current way:
- from remote gateway I run a putty session with reverse port tunnels (1 port for each machine) to ssh server on my side; to be run when I connect to this machine
- setup a ssh connection in rdm with multiple port tunnels to ssh server (1 port for each machine)
- setup connections to machines using local ports

so; when I need to work
1. local: rdp into remote gateway
2. remotegateway:run scripts for ssh
3. local: start ssh tunnel session
4. local: use sessions

Hmmm. Can this SSH session be part of the VPN tab, or can this generic session be made to be open before connecting?

Hi,
It's possible to configure a session and use it in the VPN tab. You can link it to an existing session, select in the VPN type: Existing session
