Vendor user is facing issues while trying to launch a shell jump session (via Jumpoint) from Mac endpoint. User is typing the below command to invoke the web console on the shell jump session but getting display error.

 

Target Endpoint: Rocky Linux 8.9, 64-bit

systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

~]$ DataEditor

Error: DataEditor: Can't Open Display

 

They also want to know if PRA shell jump supports X window forwarding using the X11 protocol.

 

Any suggestions to resolve this problem?

​@ssethurajan - I do not believe we support X11 Forwarding at this time through our SSH Jumps, as the terminal we load is very locked down.

It sounds like a good idea though, so you may wish to get an idea logged in the Ideas Portal for that one.

We tried this with shell jump and with external tools and could not get it to go. Any luck on your side?
