Configuring Password Management

To be able to use the Password Management feature, first do the following:

1. Make sure that you have an activated product license serial key that includes the Password Management (PAM) application and features, and PAM seat licenses.

2. Optionally, to be able to use Active Directory account secrets, first configure an LDAP target.

3. Assign PAM seat licenses to users (on the Users page) for them to be able to use the PAM functionality (i.e. for users to get access to both the Password Management and the Account Discovery pages in the Management Tool, and also to Syteca Connection Manager on a computer used to connect to the privileged accounts (by using the corresponding account secrets).

4. Configure the Client (e.g. on a jump server) on the Windows computer that secrets will be used on by way of the desktop version of the Syteca Connection Manager.

NOTE: Instead of configuring a Client to use the desktop version of the Syteca Connection Manager, alternatively, Syteca Web Connection Manager can be configured and then used in a similar way (but instead directly from the Management Tool).

5. Add secrets manually, or use Account Discovery to find and then onboard the accounts discovered into secrets.

6. Users having the corresponding PAM seat licenses and Role Type permissions for secrets can then connect to the corresponding privileged accounts, by using the secrets either in the desktop version of the Syteca Connection Manager or in a similar way (but instead directly from the Management Tool) by using Syteca Web Connection Manager.
