Launchers

Launchers are tools within Secret Server that enable users to securely and conveniently access remote systems and applications using stored credentials without manually entering passwords. These launchers come in various types, including Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for Windows sessions, SSH for Unix systems, and web launchers for automatic website logins. The launchers work in conjunction with protocol handlers, which are applications installed on the user's machine to facilitate secure communication between Secret Server and the client machine. This setup ensures that credentials are retrieved securely using encrypted messages, adding an extra layer of security. Additionally, custom launchers can be created to integrate with any application that can be started via the command line, further extending the functionality of Secret Server.
