Share a SSH Connection

In this chapter, you will learn how to share a Secure Shell (SSH) connection via bestzero®.

 

First, make sure that the server on which the Hive is installed can establish an SSH connection to the desired address.

 

 

1. Create a new App

 

Instructions for this can be found in the chapter Create a new App.

app_ssh_zero_app_description

app_ssh_zero_app_filter

app_ssh_zero_app_source

 

 

2. Zero App Detail

 

Here you specify the address, port and optionally the link to open via an SSH application.

 

Example:

 

Address

ssh.cordaware.test

Port(Range) Port,Port1-Port2

22

Link to open the app, for all operating systems

ssh://root@ssh.cordaware.test:22

 

 

The Secure Shell URI scheme has the following structure:

 

ssh://<USER>@<HOST>:<PORT>

 

 

In the above example, the following values are set for the variables:

•<USER> = root, thus the "root" user is used for the login.

•<HOST> = ssh.cordaware.test, the full FQDN of the server to be accessed via SSH

•<PORT> = 22, the default port for an SSH connection.

 

Adjust these variables to your individual needs.

 

 

If such an SSH link is not associated with a corresponding SSH client on your users' system, then you can alternatively leave this field empty and use an infotext for this app instead.

 

You can inform your users accordingly that you can open the SSH client manually and establish a connection via the specified address.

 

For more information on setting up an infotext for your app, see the chapter Add infotext.

 

The address "ssh.cordaware.test" and the port "22" can be replaced at will.

 

 

Please note:

The spelling of the links to open via an SSH application is different on Windows than on macOS, Android and iOS.

3. Zero App Source

 

Specify the IP address or FQDN of the remote host, use port 22 and TCP as the protocol.

 

Example:

 

Address

192.168.1.40

Port(Range) Port,Port1-Port2

22
