Anchor Connect

Anchor Connect extends the Anchor control plane into brokered access workflows such as SSH-focused sessions.

What Anchor Connect is for

Section titled “What Anchor Connect is for”

Anchor Connect lets operators request and launch approved sessions while preserving control-plane context, policy checks, session status, and audit evidence.

Why it matters

Section titled “Why it matters”

Traditional proxy and session systems often sprawl across networks and administrative surfaces. Anchor Connect keeps session workflows tied to the same resource, account, policy, and audit model used by the rest of Anchor.

Core workflow

Section titled “Core workflow”
  1. A user requests access through the UI or API.
  2. Anchor evaluates user permissions, resource context, and policy.
  3. Anchor issues session launch context when allowed.
  4. Anchor Connect brokers the session to the target.
  5. Session lifecycle events are reported back to Anchor logs and review surfaces.

Operating value

Section titled “Operating value”

Anchor Connect gives teams a cleaner access path for privileged sessions by keeping user intent, policy decisions, session lifecycle, and audit evidence connected to the same Anchor control plane.
