Latest version of Centrify platform supports native local ssh client.

User can directly SSH into a Centrify connector. The Centrify connector will act as a jump box to the target SSH server

To use this feature, you will need to SSH into a Centrify connector. You can specify which stored user account to use and which target account in a connection string. Basically, you pass in the connection string as the user name. Centrify connector will help you get to that target SSH server.

There are a lot of ways to specify the connection string. You can refer to the latest documentation.

hey @HarveyKwok thanks for the info! Do you know if that requires any admin access to Centrify? I have very limited permissions so that tool helps me a lot in accessing servers behind Centrify.

It doesn't require admin access. However, it does require you to have direct connection to Centrify connector which is normally installed inside your company network. If you are working inside your company network, you can contact your admin asking whether you have direct network connection to Centrify connector. If you are working from a remote site without any direct connection to Centrify connector, you probably have to continue to use Centrify web client or your python client
