hcp boundary Announcing Boundary Desktop embedded terminal, LDAP support, and more

[Hashicorp]

HashiCorp Boundary, a modern privileged access management (PAM) offering for cloud-driven environments, provides just-in-time access to infrastructure without requiring end users to manage IP addresses or credentials. Boundary also ensures an organization’s infrastructure is secure and compliant by using identity driven controls and ensuring least-privilege access, session and credential expiration, and session recording. These new capabilities help organizations streamline their user workflow as they leverage a cloud operating model for secure remote access.

Boundary 0.14, which we are announcing today at HashiConf, adds important new functionality, including:

• Dramatically improved SSH access: Users can now seamlessly establish and connect to SSH sessions directly in the Boundary Desktop client.
• Expanded authentication options: Boundary 0.14 includes a fully instrumented LDAP auth method, with support in both the desktop client and admin UI.
• Enhanced security removing hard-coded credentials: AWS administrators now have enhanced security and access control for their most sensitive recordings with the addition of AssumeRole authentication for storage buckets.
