Overview

Figure 1.  Example Service Providers Page

The Service Providers page (Fig. 1) allows you to grant service providers remote access to specific networks on the selected Mako for a specific amount of time using OpenVPN.

Here you can view all service providers that currently have access.  Information about previously allowed access is recorded in the audit log.

If you have a third party to which you would like to grant temporary, remote access to your network, please contact Mako support to have a service provider account set up for the third party.  After that has been completed, the new service provider will be available to use on this page.
