On demand connection to restricted environment

Question

I would like to establish a connection to a closed network with a jumpoint/gateway every 30 Minutes, do some tasks and then close the connection again.
I thought about using the tcp or network tunnel to establish the connection.
Does anyone know a way how to automate this with the APIs? I couldn't find anything. thanks for your input on this

Hello Pirmin,I see you got no response from BT directly so here some advice from Partner to Partner.You can start sessions with the client scripting, leveraging the BRCS Filehttps://docs.beyondtrust.com/pra/reference/client-scripting-apiHere an extract of the Docs:This can be done from the installed Access console for example :bomgar-acc.exe --run-script "action=start_jump_item_session&client.hostname=ABCEF02&session.custom.external_key=123456789" bomgar-acc.exe --run-script-file my_script_file.brcs-beta60Or directly with the scripting API URL :https://access.example.com/api/client_scriptThis API accepts a client type (rep), an operation to perform (generate), a command to put in the script file, and a set of parameters to pass to the command. Here is an example of a valid Client Scripting API request:https://access.example.com/api/client_script?type=rep&operation=generate&action=start_jump_item_session&client.hostname=ABCDEFG02When using the start_jump_item_session command this should work for TCP and Network Tunnels as well.I hope this helps to guide you in the right direction.Best Regards,Jess
