Boundary transparent session simplifies remote user access by minimizing or even removing user interactions with Boundary. This demo shows how simple it is to set up and use Transparent sessions. Create a free HCP account. HCP Boundary cluster is free for up to 5 users → [ Ссылка ]

What’s in this video?
This video walks through the setup from ground zero. It will show how to deploy a new HCP Boundary cluster and the set up of a new target that can be accessed with transparent sessions. It will use two example targets, a web application that is accessed over HTTPS and a Linux host that is accessed over SSH.

Why was transparent sessions developed?
Boundary has always been very intuitive for end users to connect to their desired infrastructure resources, especially developers. However, for non-technical business users (sales, marketing, accounting, etc) who typically log into their network through a VPN and access their private web applications through a browser, it does introduce a different workflow that they are not used to.

Boundary transparent session was designed to make the connection experience as simple as possible for both developers and business users by minimizing or even eliminating user interaction with Boundary. Rather than requiring users to initiate a connection to a resource by actively running a Boundary CLI command or clicking on a Boundary Desktop UI button, users can use their existing workflows and go directly to their preferred client tools (SSH terminal, putty, RDP Client, etc) to connect to their targets. They get a VPN-like experience but with much stronger security capabilities for credentials management, session management, and session recording. As a result, users dramatically reduce the time spent on learning and navigating new product tools, leading to more adoption and a stronger organizational security posture.
