JumpServer is a privileged access management platform designed to manage and audit secure access to SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, and database endpoints. It functions as a centralized gateway that brokers remote terminal and graphical sessions to isolate users from critical infrastructure.
The system utilizes a web-based protocol gateway to translate remote connections into browser-compatible streams and a protocol-based proxy layer to isolate end-user devices from target assets. It incorporates security watermarking to deter unauthorized screen captures and provides a Kubernetes access gateway for controlling administrative cluster access.
Identity governance is handled through integration with external directory services, multi-factor authentication, and biometric identity verification via facial recognition. The platform also includes access activity monitoring to track security events and session lifetime management to control user expiration.
The application supports a pluggable database backend for managing system configuration and logs.
