Manually Adding Hosts

Make hosts accessible via PrivX:

On the ​Settings→Hosts​ page, click ​Add Host​​. Provide at least:

  • The ​Name​ and the network ​Addresses​​ of the host. This data helps users identify the target host.

  • The ​Services​​ (SSH and/or RDP servers) available on the host. In this example we add the SSH server by providing its FQDN address and port number.

  • The ​Accounts​ to which roles are mapped on the target host. Leave the ​Password​ empty to require password authentication upon connecting. In this example we allow the previously-created example role to access the host as target user ​root​​.

    📘

    Note

    If you are adding an RDP host which uses domain accounts, you must use the ​username@domain​ syntax. For example, for domain account ​Domain\Administrator​​, the correct syntax is ​Administrator@Domain​​.

  • Enable ​SSH - Trust on first use​​ to allow users to accept the SSH host key upon login.
    Add hosts view with basic host information filled in, including host name, comma-separated addresses. Also defines one SSH service with Trust on first use enabled. Finally, including one Explicit account mapping Example Role to root

    Click ​Save​​ to save the host.

    You may verify that the host is listed back on the ​Settings→Hosts​​ page.
