Yes, any elevated support connection no matter how started (by the user or via an unattended jump client) gives full access to the entire file system and the ability to easily upload and download files for support purposes and yes, that's full access to mapped network drives would also be available like access to any other drive. Another kind of jump client is one that more lives up to it's name, it's just a jumping off point to be able to RDP to any other system on the same network. not let the user know you are accessing the system/watching, but it's certainly not the default behavior and you would have to go substantially out of your way to make that happen but the product is versatile enough to be able to do it) and installation would initially require Administrator privilege via UAC prompt. The most expansive of course is an elevated, unattended jump client with no prompting or notification (that can be specially programmed to make access kind of 'invisible' e.g. There are multiple types of jump clients. Steve, can you tell me if the jump client gives access to the local drives on the remote system? Perhaps even network drives?

In order to install an elevated jump client you would get the UAC prompt in order to be able to install it 'elevated' but then you would never see it again and could access the system as often as you like as the jump client then runs as a service with Administrator privilege (if you initially install it to work that way). This vendor insists that there is no way for them to remotely assist our users without getting the UAC prompt. Or perhaps am I merely overreacting and need to take a breath and get a grip? :) My concern is what vulnerabilities does this now introduce into our environment? Can someone at our vendor connect to a computer any time they want? Do they now have some other kind of vpn-hamachi-type access to our network? In our firewall logs I can see that it keeps a constant connection to, which would be expected of any type of remote control software. I do not know a whole lot about this client but from what I read at the site above this is pretty much like other remote control software out there such as Teamviewer or Gotomypc.īefore I jump down this vendor's throat for installing remote software on our network without running it by me first I wanted to check to see if there are any other users of this software on Spiceworks that can give me some more insight into this software?

Apparently they have installed the Bomgar Jump Client on some of our computers: One of our software vendors uses Bomgar for remote support sessions.
