A gateway opens every session to your resources: RDP, SSH, VNC, Telnet and SFTP, the database proxy, the Kubernetes listener and the SSH bastion. It also records sessions and runs password changes and scripts on targets. Install at least one gateway in each network that holds resources.

Open the Setup tab (5 in Figure 2). Under Guided Installation, copy the script (4) and run it on the gateway server in a command line opened as Administrator. Turn on I'm using a self-signed certificate (3) if Monopam's certificate is not trusted by the server. Manual Installation (2) lists the steps for installing without the script.

When the gateway connects, the Setup tab shows Your gateway agent is installed! with the last connection time (1).
Gateways can also run on Linux and as a container. Container gateways are configured with MONOPAM_GW_* environment variables; see the Installation Guide.
