Depending on the resource type, you can securely access resources in the following ways:

Prerequisites

Connect from the Secure Remote Access Portal

The default authentication method for logging in to the Secure Remote Access Portal is Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). For details about integrating your SAML authentication with the Akeyless Platform, see here. Alternatively, you can choose OIDC to set the default authentication method.

  1. Go to https://zerotrust.akeyless.io.
  2. In the SAML Access ID field, enter your SAML Access ID. or click the OIDC button to work with OpenID Connect.
  3. In the Akeyless Gateway URL field, enter your Akeyless Gateway URL on port 8000.

Reminder

The unified Gateway with Remote Access has simplified access to the various components by creating internal mapping of the endpoints.

  1. If you are connecting to a database, SSH server, Windows Server, or RabbitMQ resources, in the Web Client URL field, enter the URL of your Secure Remote Access with your web-sra cluster service port.
  2. (Optional) If you are connecting to applications using Web Access in Isolated mode, in the Web Application Dispatcher field, enter the URL of your Web Access with your web-access-dispatcher cluster service port, the default set to 9000. If you are working with Secure Proxy, also set the Web Proxy URL with the web-access-dispatcher cluster service port, the default set to19414.
  3. Click Sign in.
    The portal shows all the supported resource types. The number of resources of a particular type that you are authorized to access appears in the top-right corner of the resource tile.

Note

To simplify login, after you enter all the required information but before you sign in, select Generate SAML Bookmark URL to create a link to the completed form. The link is copied to your clipboard for you to save in a convenient place, such as your browser bookmarks, and use in the future to automatically complete the login details.
