Dialog

Description
Vista Sessions Dialog The Vista Sessions dialog is used to establish an encrypted tunnel session to a service hosted on the {SITENAME} platform. This tunnel operates over an SSH channel to ensure maximum security. Unlike Workspaces, which can be accessed from any modern web browser, Vista Sessions requires a client software called Vista Connect, available for download at: {MASTER}#downloads. For more information about Vista Connect, please refer to the document Vista Connect.
Name field Specifies the name for the session, which can be anything.
Access Gate field Lists the available Access Gates that can be used to establish the encrypted session tunnel.
Identity field Displays the available identities from which you can select a single user to be granted access to this session.
Protocol field Displays the available protocols for a Vista Session, which include:
  • HTTP, HTTPS
    The Vista Connect client will launch a web browser and navigate to the specified instance and port.
  • SSH
    The Vista Connect client will launch a SSH session to the specified instance and port.
  • RDP
    The Vista Connect client will launch a RDP session to the specified instance and port.
  • SPICE
    The Vista Connect client will launch a SPICE session to the specified instance and port.
  • VNC, XVNC
    The Vista Connect client will launch a VNC session to the specified instance and port.
  • CUSTOM
    The Vista Connect client will only inform the user of the accessible port after the session has been created to the specified instance and port.
  • VISTA POOL
    This setup uses the RDP protocol for Instances-xvm templates, where a linked clone is automatically created and assigned to the user. The Vista Connect client then initiates an RDP session to the cloned instance and its designated port.
Identity field Displays the available instances from which you can select a machine to grant access.
Port field Specifies the port number on the instance that will be tunneled. For SPICE and XVNC protocols, this port number must be the access point port that directs to the {ANYNODE}.
Token field Specifies a token for the session that adds an additional layer of encryption.
Create button Saves the Vista Session configuration and provisions it.
Cancel button Abort and close the dialog.
