Using the Privileged Remote Access Workload

Delinea Privileged Remote Access (PRA) provides seamless access to remote machines through RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and SSH (Secure Socket Shell) without the need for a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Delinea PRA runs on the Delinea Platform and seamlessly integrates with Delinea Secret Server vault, deployed from the cloud or from within a customer's private network. PRA automatically uses credentials to connect with target resources, enabling RDP and SSH connectivity as well as SMB and SFTP file transfers without exposing sensitive parts of credentials to the end-user. This fast and simple workflow is completely integrated into the Delinea Platform user interface.

When a user requests a connection to a remote target, they connect to the Delinea Platform first with their browser. If authorized, the Delinea PRA workload facilitates the connection with the target machine. The PRA workload is also used to integrate Secret Server On Premise installations with the Delinea Platform.

The PRA workload works for both Windows and Linux.

During the preview phase, tenants will manage PRA workloads from the Engine Management Settings page and any pre-existing PRA standalone engines from the Privileged Remote Access Settings page.

When a site has multiple engines or workloads, PRA automatically selects an engine or a workload to make the remote connection. During the preview phase, if the Engine Management Site with available Windows workloads has the same name as a PRA site with available Linux engines, PRA considers all available Windows and Linux options before making a selection.
