Skyhigh Windows Client

Objective: Log in to Your Windows Client via RDP

The Skyhigh client simplifies access to security services such as ZTNA, CASB, SWG, etc. (SSE) and can be installed on a variety of desktop and mobile operating systems. For the purposes of this lab, we have provided you with a Windows machine that has the client pre-installed.

Tasks

Recommended Way: Connect Directly via Remote Desktop

1. Download the remote desktop configuration file or use the IP address to connect to your Lab client machine:
2. Ensure your computer has a Microsoft Remote Desktop application installed (Windows: Remote Desktop Connection is built-in; Mac: Install Microsoft Remote Desktop from Mac App Store).
3. Double-click on the SSEClient.rdp file that you downloaded or type in the IP address in the RDP application.
4. Use the Windows client credentials you collected in the “Collect Credentials” section to authenticate (username should be pre-populated, just enter the password).
5. Give the machine a few moments to finish booting. Dismiss any windows or notifications (network connection, Teams login, etc.).

Keep this RDP session open; you’ll need it later!
