Access a resource from Slack

After your access request is approved, you can use Connect to launch a session automatically when available, or use Access Details to retrieve credentials and access instructions for manual login.

If your credentials were rotated since your previous session, Apono displays a Credentials rotated tag. When this appears, previously saved credentials or client profiles may no longer work.

Use Connect again or retrieve the current credentials from Access Details.

Connect

Connect opens the available connection options for the resource, so you can log in without manually copying credentials.

To use the Connect option, the following requirements must be met:

• Apono CLI installed, updated, and logged in

• Credentials not previously viewed

Currently, the Connect option is only supported on MacOS / Linux.

Follow these steps to access the resource:

1. Either from the message or under My Sessions (Home > My Access > My Sessions), click Connect to see the connection options for the resource.

Available connection options depend on the resource and may include Open in my Terminal, Open in Browser, or Open in App.

If your preferred connection option or the Connect button is not available, you can retrieve your credentials to manually log in to the resource.

1. Click an option.

2. Click Open. You are logged in to the resource and your session launches.

Access Details

Access Details lets you view the credentials and instructions needed to access a resource manually.

Use this method when:

• The Connect button is not available for the resource or your preferred connection method.

• You need to set up multifactor authentication for the account.

• You prefer to log in using your own client or workflow.

Be sure to copy and securely store your credentials. Apono only displays the secret once.

Follow these steps to access the resource:

1. Either from the message or under My Sessions (Home > My Access > My Sessions), click Access Details for the resource. A pop-up window appears.

2. Follow the instructions to access the resource.

If you previously viewed your credentials, you can click Reset Credentials. Resetting your credentials enables you to use the Connect approach.
