Device Connection
This chapter explains how regular users can browse authorized devices, initiate remote connections, transfer files, and view connection history after logging in to the SOSI system.
Browse Devices
After logging in, the system displays your authorized devices as cards. Each card shows the device name, IP address, and connection type (RDP, SSH, or VNC).
Start a Connection
- Find the target device card in the device list.
- Click the “Connect” button.
- The system will automatically log in to the remote host using credentials pre-configured by the administrator, taking you directly to the desktop or command-line interface.
You do not need to enter the remote host’s username or password — SOSI handles authentication automatically.
Connection Operations
Once connected, you can operate the remote desktop or terminal directly in your browser:
- RDP Connection: Operate a Windows remote desktop with mouse and keyboard input.
- SSH Connection: Use the command-line interface to operate Linux/Unix systems.
- VNC Connection: Operate the remote desktop via VNC protocol.
A watermark may appear on screen during the session — this is a security feature configured by the administrator.
File Transfer
If the administrator has enabled SFTP for the device, you can upload and download files during the session:
- Browse the remote host’s file system via the SFTP interface.
- Upload local files to the remote host, or download files from it.
All file transfer operations are recorded in the security audit log.
Disconnect
To end a remote connection:
- Close the browser tab or window directly.
- Click the “Disconnect” button in the connection interface.
Connection History
You can view your past connection records, including:
- Device name and IP address
- Connection start and end times
- Connection type and status
Request Device Access
If you need to connect to a device that is not currently authorized for you, contact your system administrator with the following information:
- Your user account
- The device name or IP address you need to access
- Purpose of the connection
Once the administrator approves, the device will appear in your device list.
