Browser Based Remote Session Launcher

The Browser Based remote session launcher establishes all connections directly from the Browser Based Gateway Service. The Gateway Service is normally installed on the same server where you have Passwordstate installed, but it can be installed separately if you wish, or even on a remote site.

For Browser Based Sessions to work you will need to allow incoming traffic into your Gateway server on port 7273 – 7273 is the default port, but you can configure the gateway to use any port number you like.

This connection to port 7273 occurs from your PC browser, and not the Passwordstate web server itself.

When you open an RDP or SSH session, html files are accessed on your Passwordstate web server. Once these files are loaded into your PC browser, a call is made to your Passwordstate API, using the URL you see visible in the address bar in your browser. Once there is a successful connection to the API, then the gateway is accessed – again, from your PC browser.

You will also need to ensure your Gateway service can communicate to any remote host on either port 22 for SSH, or 3389 for RDP connections.
