# Access protocols

PingOne Privilege provides secure access to your resources using industry-standard protocols. As an administrator, you can configure how these protocols are used within your environment.

The following access protocols are supported:

* [Certificate-based SSH](ssh.html)

  Configure how PingOne Privilege uses short-lived SSH certificates to provide secure, passwordless access to your Linux servers.

* [Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)](rdp.html)

  Set up secure access to your Windows servers using RDP, with sessions managed and audited through PingOne Privilege.
