Connection Component

Connection Components are configuration packages that define the protocol and connection settings used to enable secure and controlled access to different systems such as RDP, SSH, Telnet, and SQL.

This section determines which protocol will be used, which application will launch the connection (e.g., mstsc.exe, putty.exe, plink, WinSCP), which arguments and parameters will be applied.

It allows creating custom Connection Components for any specific application or connection scenario — for example, custom ports, third-party tools, or script-based login processes.
New components can be added, or existing ones can be duplicated and modified as needed.

Note: For connecting to systems not listed, please contact the Grizzle Technology team for custom component support.
