From the Wikipedia: A typical configuration is a hardened Unix machine configured with SSH and a local firewall. A SSH connection is then made from the administrator's desktop to the Jump Server and SSH forwarding is used to access the target machine in the DMZ. From this I would gather that a Jump Server is accessed through SSH, just like any other server. Now, whether you have the appropriate and credentials to do so is another matter. And whether it is a good idea to allow a random script to access a highly sensitive server is a question that you need to take up with both your Boss and your Security Officer. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now.

Well yes, I have the access I was told to write such a script I have it sshing into all the servers but I don't know how to get it to log into the DMZ half or where to def the DMZ path.	[reply]

I have seen code that used Net::SSH::Expect to log into one server, then called an SSH client on that server to jump to the next server. This might be an approach to look at. Hope that helps.	[reply]
