Installing a Linux Application Server

Add an application server.

Add or import the deployed application server to the bastion host instance to connect the application server to the bastion host instance.

Manage application resources.

Add the prepared application resources (client applications or web applications) to the bastion host.

Create a resource account.

Create a login account for the application.

A resource account uniquely identifies an application resource managed in a bastion host. You need to create a resource account for each managed application resource and associate the resource with the account. O&M personnel can use the account to log in to the application resource for O&M operations.

Creating a Resource Account and Associating It with the Corresponding Resource

Authorize O&M.

You can configure access control policies and associate the policies with users and resource accounts to control O&M personnel, O&M resources, and O&M operations.

Creating an ACL Rule and Associating It with Users and Resource Accounts

End

Send the user account and bastion host login information to O&M personnel. O&M personnel can log in to application resources using a web browser for O&M.
