Iraje Dashboard manual version 7.5

Introduction

This document is the user manual for the dashboards. It explains all the dashboard modules and how to use them. The dashboards modules are all role based.

There are 3 roles in Iraje PAM.

  • Admin - Access Control Directory module (SSO module for users)

  • Group Admin - Access Control Directory & Access Control Manager modules (for group Admin)

The Dashboards are the point of entry in securely accessing the Infrastructure post the 2 factor authentication. First is the AD authentication and the second is the 2FA.

Purpose

Iraje PAM supports multiple domain integration without using any agent on client domain controller. It also has local domain controller that authenticates the vendor id using Iraje DC instead of creating the vendor id in client domain.

Access Control Directory

The main purpose of Access Control Directory is to get access to connections from PAM. We can also integrate 2nd factor authentication i.e. OTP at Access Control Directory Level.

This module is explained in detail in Access Control Directory (ACD) Manual. This is also called the 3rd Factor authentication at the device level.

Access Control Manager

The main purpose of ACM is as follows:

  • User Configuration

  • Group Mapping

  • Connection Configuration

  • Access Control to connections

  • Admin options configuration

  • Logs

This is explained in detail in Access Control Manager (ACM) Manual.

Admin Discovery

The main purpose of Admin Discovery is to get the details of admins which are configured (added in PAM) and not configured (which are not added). The functioning takes place in Access Control Manager > Discover ACM & the result is populated in Admin discovery on the dashboard.

This module helps discover hidden admin accounts in the organization that needs to be either deleted, disabled or onboarded in PAM. It maintains a history of the scans also, for audit purposes.

This module is critical to security and the discovery scans can be done on the fly or on demand to discover hidden admins in the organization

This module also helps in getting the inventory of admin IDs present on the devices.

Click on Admin discovery, it will display list of admins inside PAM & outside PAM.

This module is critical to security and is an agentless module in discovering hidden admin accounts on the target devices.

Video on Demand (VOD)

The main purpose of this module is to get video logs of users configured in PAM. This module helps to do audit and forensic in case of any incidents

When you click on video on demand, the below screen appears then Click on Open Remote app_launcher

There are 2 Tabs on the Top Left, Live Tab and the Gallery Tab.

  • Live Session Viewing:

    Displays videos of all users which are currently live/ active on PAM.

  • Recorded Sessions in Gallery module:

    Displays past videos of users who have accessed target devices through PAM. These videos are sorted by users and can be searched on PAM by using the filters below.

    • Username

    • Session Start Date

    • Session End Date

    • File Size

    • Source IP Address

There are many features within Video on Demand module like Command based searching, Live Termination, Video Indexing & Video replaying from the point of command entered.

Global Command Search Within Videos

In the screen below a command is put in the text search box. When the search button is pressed, it scans through the thousands of videos and displays list of videos where command was executed.

You can see the yellow highlighted row where is shows the command searched was executed. The video can now be played directly from the command executed time.

Live Termination

We can terminate live session of user’s by clicking on X. Once this button is pressed, the user session gets disconnected and the user is logged off. If required, the user can be further stop accessing any module by disabling his/her ID from the Access Control Manager module.

The admin will be asked to confirm if he/she is sure to disconnect the live user.

Once confirmed, the live user session will be terminated.

Video Replay from the point command has been entered

We can replay a video recording from the time the command is entered Clicking on the play button.

Auto Video Archival/ Scheduled Backups

All videos which are recorded get stored on the D drive of the server. This utilizes the storage of that drive and possibly there will be no empty space after some point of time. So Customer specifies a backup drive (also known as map drive), where all the video recording data is moved to free some space on D drive. This is automatically done by a scheduler where the retention period is configured.

As per the client’s requirement we move the video recording data onto the specified map drive provided by the client. The period of time for the data to be moved onto the map drive is also mentioned by the client. Example: Client wants last 90 day’s data to be moved on the map drive.
