Set up

Add Box to Oh My Pi in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Oh My Pi then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Box in Runlayer

    Add Box from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Oh My Pi to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Oh My Pi by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Oh My Pi reaches Box’s 35 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Oh My Pi

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Oh My Pi exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Box call from Oh My Pi passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Oh My Pi as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Oh My Pi yet, so control happens at the gateway.
