This article outlines the steps to configure SecureCRT with Okta Advanced Server Access (ASA).

• Okta Advanced Server Access (ASA)
• SSH Client

SecureCRT on Windows:

1. Open SecureCRT.
2. Navigate to Options > Global Options > Firewall > Add.
3. Add a new firewall, and name it as desired. The type should be Proxy Command, and the Proxy command's value should be sft.exe proxycommand %h
4. Create a new session through the New Session Wizard.
5. For the session, use
   • SSH2 protocol,
   • hostname as the actual server name in ASA,
   • the firewall created above,
   • and any random username.
6. Double-click on the session, and it should work.

NOTE: Proxy Command type must be set for SecureCRT to work with Okta ASA. This option is not available on Mac versions of SecureCRT.
