Documentation

Getting started

How to create your SHTERA account, turn on two-factor authentication and sign in for the first time.

The vault and folders

How credentials are organised in SHTERA: folders, inheritance, the explorer, and in-browser encryption.

Adding servers

Manual entry, CSV import or network ranges, plus automatic access setup with an SSH key.

SSH, RDP and VNC console

How to open a terminal or a remote desktop from the browser, with no client installed.

File explorer

Browse, upload and download files on a server over SFTP or FTPS, from the browser.

S3 buckets

Browse an S3 bucket — AWS or compatible — as if it were a folder, from the browser.

Database admin

phpMyAdmin, pgAdmin, mongo-express and RedisInsight one click away, with the connection already set up.

Per-folder VPN

Reach servers that are only available over VPN, with a tunnel that comes up and shuts down on its own.

Running Ansible

Run a playbook against the servers of a folder, from the panel.

Users and permissions

Invite people to the team and give them access to specific folders or servers.

Recording and audit

Who signed in, when, to which server and from where — plus a replayable recording of the session.

Sentinel and monitoring

How SHTERA detects suspicious changes inside and outside a session, and what it shows live about each server’s state.

Network devices

How Mikrotik, Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet and PaloAlto routers and firewalls are added and managed, and which server features don’t apply to them.

AI agents

Give an automated agent controlled access, with its own token and the same per-folder permissions.

Subdomain and custom domain

Sign in at yourcompany.shtera.com or at a domain of your own, white-labelled.

Trusted addresses

How to limit which internet addresses can reach your SHTERA account, and what is required from each one.

Security and recovery

Zero-knowledge encryption, quick access with fingerprint or face, and the keys that open your vault.

Plans and limits

What each plan includes: sign-ins, concurrent connections, servers and recording.
