Adding a Text Terminal Shortcut

Use this page to create or edit the text terminal shortcuts appearing in WorkPlace. These shortcuts enable users to easily connect to SSH or Telnet resources.

To add a text terminal shortcut

  1. In the AMC, navigate to User Access > WorkPlace.

  2. Click on the Shortcuts tab.

  3. Click the + (New) icon.

  4. Select Text Terminal Shortcut from the dropdown list.

    The Add Text Terminal Shortcut page displays.

  5. On the General tab, select the resource from the Resource drop-down menu.

  6. In the Link Text field, type in the hyperlink text that will appear as the shortcut for a SSH or Telnet host.

  7. Type a description for the shortcut into the Description field.

  8. In the Add this shortcut to group drop-down menu, select Standalone shortcuts if you do not want to make this shortcut part of a group, or select an existing group from the list. To create a new group, select New.

  9. If you selected New, type a name for the new group in the New group name field.

  10. Click Next.

    The Advanced tab displays.

  11. Select the Allow users to change shortcut settings checkbox, to modify shortcut settings for resources in the WorkPlace portal.

  12. Select the Use Mobile Connect secure web browser checkbox to open web shortcuts directly within the Mobile Connect application instead of launching from other third party applications.

  13. Select the Automatically accept host key checkbox to allow the client automatically trust and accept the SSH server’s host key without prompting the user for confirmation.

  14. Under Single sign-on, specify how you want user credentials forwarded to the host. Forwarding user

    credentials prevents the user from needing to log in multiple times (once to get to the appliance, and again to access the host).

    1. Click None to disable single sign-on and instead prompt the user for credentials.

    2. Click Forward user’s session credentials to pass the username and password for authentication in WorkPlace along to the host.

    3. Click Forward static credentials to forward the same username and password for all users. Type the static Username, and Password to be forwarded for all users.
