Hello,

We'd love to be able to use PuTTy through thebastion, any hints on how to do that? We're facing a lot of issues (garbled packet or administratively prohibited errors).

Would be great to have an exemple to achieve that.

Thanks!

Hello,

thank you for the docs
how to auto login to a remote server throw the bastion with putty?

in putty, in the "remote command" i type ssh root@x.x.x.x but i have the following error:
! WARN : Yopu did not use the '--' delimiter to pass our remote command, maybe something crazy will happen !
Unable to resolve host 'ssh' (Name or service not known)

i try with --root@x.x.x.x but it seems that the bastion open the connexion on the remote server and close it immediatly.

Any idea ?

Hi,

In the case of passing a "Remote command", the "ssh" part is implicit as you do not get to the interactive prompt :)
So just set "root@x.x.x.x" as the remote command.
