SaaS - Agentless Target Machine Prerequisites Check

Dinesh

Last Update 5 days ago

Agent-less onboarding allows you to onboard Windows, Linux, or macOS targets without installing any agent, using WinRM or SSH.
For SaaS deployments, the SecOps Readiness Check binary should be executed from a Jump Host inside your network to validate connectivity with the target systems.

Follow the instructions below.
1. Download the Binary on the JumpHost
Download the appropriate SecOps Readiness Check binary on the JumpHost based on its operating system:
Windows (x64)
Download the EXE file:
Linux (x86_64)
Linux (ARM64)
3. Run the binary on Jump Host
Windows (x64)
Linux (x86_64)
Linux (ARM64)
3. Follow On-Screen Menu
Once the binary starts, you will see an interactive menu. Select:
  • Option 1 → SecOps Cloud (SaaS)
  • Option 2 → Agent-less
Next, select the Target OS:
  • Option 1 → Windows (WinRM)
  • Option 2 → Linux (SSH)
  • Option 3 → macOS (SSH)
  • Option 4 → Back
4. Enter Target Machine Details
After selecting the Target OS, enter the required connection details.
If you selected Windows (WinRM):
You will be prompted for:
  • Target IP Address
  • WinRM Port (default: 5985 for HTTP, 5986 for HTTPS)
  • Username
  • Password
If you selected Linux (SSH) or macOS (SSH):
You will be prompted for:
  • Target IP Address
  • SSH Port (default: 22)
  • Username
  • Authentication Method
    • Option 1 → Password
    • Option 2 → Private Key
If using a key:
  • Provide the path to the private key
5. Expected Output Summary
After the checks complete, you will see an output similar to:
Important:
  • All checks must Pass for successful Agent-Less onboarding.
  • Reverse connectivity ensures the Target machines can also communicate back to jump host.
  • If WinRM/SSH authentication fails, verify:
    • Username and password
    • Private key permissions
    • Firewall rules
    • Port accessibility
    • WinRM or SSH service status
  • Blockers must be resolved before the onboarding process can continue.
