SSH Application

This article serves as a guide on how to access an SSH application through the Safous.

To access an SSH application created by an administrator, a user needs to:

  • Have completed MFA enrollment and be able to log in successfully
  • Be authorized by the configured access policies to access the application

Once the user logs in, all applications that the user is authorized to access will be displayed.

Select the access method you would like to use for the SSH application.
