Jumpoint: Set Up Unattended Access to a Network
Jump
Jumpoint
Jumpoint Management
BeyondTrust's Jump Technology enables a user to access computers on a remote network without having to pre-install software on every machine. Simply install a single Jumpoint agent at any network location to gain unattended access to every PC within that network.
Add New Jumpoint, Edit, Delete
Create a new Jumpoint, modify an existing Jumpoint, or remove an existing Jumpoint.
Redeploy
Uninstall an existing Jumpoint and download an installer to replace the existing Jumpoint with a new one. Jump shortcuts associated with the existing Jumpoint will use the new Jumpoint once it is installed.
When an existing Jumpoint is replaced, its configuration is not saved. The new Jumpoint must be reconfigured.
Enable network browsing
At the bottom of the Jumpoint page is the option to Enable network browsing. If checked, a permitted user can view and select systems from the network directory tree. If unchecked, a user can access a system through a Jumpoint only by entering the system's hostname or IP address. Either way, the user must provide valid credentials to the remote system before gaining access.
