Systems, methods, and media for connecting using aliases. During operation, such as an API, an operation is called that utilizes a connection to a remote device. When this operation is attempted, information may be requested to complete the connection. The information may include credentials or connection information about a target device for the connection. An appropriate alias is used to request the suitable information.

System and method for connecting using aliases

An example embodiment may involve receiving, by a server device that stores a plurality of access credentials for computing devices that are disposed within a managed network, a request containing a label and an indication of an application service. The server device may be disposed within a remote network management platform that remotely manages the managed network. The example embodiment may further involve mapping, by the server device, the label and the application service to an endpoint identifier of a target computing device that is disposed within the managed network. The endpoint identifier may be associated with particular access credentials that are usable to access the application service executing on the target computing device. The example embodiment may further involve transmitting, by the server device, the endpoint identifier and the particular access credentials.
