What is required to launch connections to the PSM Gateway?

Launching connections to the PSM (Privileged Session Manager) Gateway primarily involves using a browser because the PSM Gateway provides a web-based interface for users to initiate their connections. This web interface facilitates the establishment of secure sessions to target systems without the need for additional software installations, as long as the user has internet access and the necessary permissions.

The browser interface typically supports various features, including credential injection, session recording, and auditing, which are integral to the functionality of CyberArk's privileged access management solutions. Consequently, users can launch connections by navigating through the provided browser interface and authenticating as necessary.

While an RDP client may be needed to connect to Windows hosts in specific cases, the initiation process through the PSM Gateway itself requires a browser. Therefore, having a browser is essential for accessing the PSM Gateway and taking advantage of its capabilities, regardless of the operating system or device used, as long as the browser is compatible.
