Integration of Applications in PAM
Iraje PAM helps in integrating applications with the help of Access Control Manager module. PAM Admins need to login into PAM dashboard and access ‘Access Control Manager’ module.
Steps to integrate and access OS in PAM.
A. Windows (Domain Servers)
PAM admin needs to select type as ‘TERMINAL-RDP’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Windows OS Device in PAM. And mark it as ‘Domain’ server as shown in below snap. We need details like IP address, Domain name, credentials to be stored in PAM to integrate a Windows OS in PAM. These servers will be connected through RDP port 3389 from PAM server.
B. Windows (Child servers)
PAM admin needs to select type as ‘TERMINAL-RDP’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Windows OS Device in PAM. PAM admin need to select parent domain ID from ‘Domain Access’ drop down. These servers will be connected through RDP port 3389 from PAM server, and they will be accessed using parent domain server credentials.
User Experience for accessing Windows Devices
To access these Windows OS Device, go to ‘Access Control Directory’ module from PAM dashboard and double click on connection as below,
C. UNIX / Linux OS
PAM admins need to select type as ‘TERMINAL-UNIXSSH’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Linux/UNIX OS device in PAM. PAM admin will require server IP address and credentials to integrate Linux/UNIX OS. These servers will be connected through Putty using default SSH port 22 from PAM server.
User Experience for accessing Linux Devices
To access these LINUX / Unix OS, go to ‘Access Control Directory’ module from PAM dashboard and double click on connection
Steps to integrate and access Databases in PAM.
Oracle Database
For integrating database in PAM server follow the below steps:
Step 1: Create Database Connection
PAM admins need to select type as ‘ORACLE’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Databases (For example: Oracle) in PAM. PAM Admin will require oracle database schema name, service name and credentials to integrate Oracle DB in PAM.
Step 2: Create Linux Connection and define a tag
PAM admins need to add Linux device with oracle ID credentials, where Oracle database is installed. In tags we need to add oracle database details
User Experience for accessing Database connection from PAM server
To access this Oracle database connection from PAM server, go to ‘Access Control Directory’ from PAM dashboards and right click on the ‘Linux connection’ and click on the tag (in the below image ‘SQL Plus’)
Oracle database will be automatically opened in Linux with Single sign on.
Steps to integrate and access Network devices in PAM.
A. Routers / Switches (via SSH)
PAM admins need to select type as ‘ROUTER-SSH’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Network devices(routers/switches) in PAM. PAM admins need details like IP address, user name, credentials, Classification (Cisco, Juniper, etc.), Model no. & Scripts for updating password to be stored in PAM to integrate a network device. These devices will be connected through SSH port 22 from PAM server.
User Experience for accessing Network Devices via SSH
To access the network devices from PAM server, go to ’Access Control Directory’ from PAM dashboard and double-click on the connection
B. Routers / Switches (via TELNET)
PAM admins need to select type as ‘ROUTER-TELNET’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Network devices(routers/switches) in PAM. PAM admins need details like IP address, user name, credentials, Classification (Cisco, Juniper, etc.), Model no. & Scripts for updating password to be stored in PAM to integrate a network device. These devices will be connected through Telnet port 23 from PAM server.
User Experience for accessing Network Devices via Telnet
To access these network devices from PAM, go to ‘Access Control Directory’ from PAM dashboard and double-click on the connection,
It will prompt for username, ‘press Enter’ to automatically enter username
It will prompt for password, ‘press Enter’ to get logged in the network device via port 23
C. Routers / Switches (via URLs)
PAM admins need to select type as ‘ROUTER-SSH’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module for adding Network devices(routers/switches) in PAM. PAM admins need details like IP address, user name, credentials, Classification (Cisco, Juniper, etc.), Model no. & Scripts for updating password to be stored in PAM to integrate a network device.
In addition to these, if we want to access network devices GUI from URLs, we have to enable ‘URL’ check box and add URL details
User Experience for accessing Network Device’s GUI via URL
To access these network devices URLs from PAM, go to ‘Access Control Directory’ from PAM dashboards and right click on connection and click on URL tag. User will get GUI access as below,
Steps to integrate and access Security devices in PAM.
Storage devices via SSH & URL
PAM admins need to select type as per the storage device type. For example, integrating ‘Lenovo Storage Management console’ via SSH, we select type ‘ROUTER-SSH’ in the ‘New Connection’ window of the ‘Access Control Manager’ module. PAM admins need details like IP address, user name, credentials, Classification (Cisco, Juniper, etc.), model no. & scripts for updating password to be stored in PAM, to integrate a storage device in PAM.
In addition to these, for accessing Storage devices GUI from URLs, we have to enable ‘URL’ check box and add URL details
