JumpServer

JumpServer is a bastion host, an open source privileged access management platform that puts a controlled door in front of infrastructure rather than handing engineers direct credentials. DevOps and IT teams request access on demand and reach the target from a web browser, with no local client to install or maintain.

The product is assembled from several components that together form its operations management and security control framework, and a single platform fronts endpoints that would otherwise each need their own access path.

The protocols it brokers are the ones operations teams touch daily.

• SSH: Shell sessions to Linux and Unix servers through the browser.
• RDP: Remote desktop connections to Windows machines without a desktop client.
• Kubernetes: Cluster access mediated by the same platform and the same policies.
• Databases: Database endpoints reached under the same controls as everything else.
• RemoteApp: Published applications delivered to the browser rather than the workstation.

Getting started needs a clean 64-bit Linux server with at least four cores and eight gigabytes of memory. A quick start script from the latest release installs everything, after which the web interface answers on the server address with a default administrator account whose password should be changed at once. JumpServer is developed by FIT2CLOUD under GPLv3, and a community Grafana dashboard exists for teams that want to monitor it.
