Question

Automate Login and Jump Tunnel

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into ways to automate some actions with BeyondTrust PRA. Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has managed to:

  1. Automatically log in to the BeyondTrust console

  2. Launch a "Tunnel" type Jumpoint automatically, without manual intervention.

The goal would be to have a script or integration that, once authenticated, can open a tunnel through a pre-configured Jumpoint — useful for automations or third-party tool integrations.

Has anyone done something similar, or knows if this is possible using the BeyondTrust API or any other method?

    I was able to orchestrate the automatic launch of the client and “jump” to a tunnel item using the BT CLI with a Python script. However, I haven't managed to log in automatically using SAML yet. The --submit-login option seems to only work with local authentication. If anyone has any tips, I’d appreciate it.

    Hello ​@MassimoG - At this time, I think only Username/Password log in type is supported, as per the docs: https://docs.beyondtrust.com/pra/reference/client-scripting-api#login. Our Client Scripting API may be what you are after here.

    Please let us know how you get on!
