4.11 Integrating with NetIQ Access Manager

You can configure Privileged Account Manager as an protected resource in NetIQ Access Manager (NAM). This helps the NAM administrator to use the single sign-on feature of NetIQ Access Manager.

Prerequisites for Privileged Account Manager and NAM integration:

  1. Install and configure NAM on a supported platform. For the list of supported platforms, see the NetIQ Access Manager 4.1 Installation Guide.

  2. Install and configure Privileged Account Manager on a supported platform. For the list of supported platforms, see the Privileged Account Manager Installation Guide.

  3. Ensure that you have administrator privileges in NAM.

To integrate Privileged Account Manager with NAM:

  1. Create a protected resource in Access Manager for Privileged Account Manager (for example, www.pam.com) and a policy for injecting headers X_PUM_ADMIN and X_PUM_PASSWD. For more information, see the NetIQ Access Manager 4.0 Administration Console Guide.

  2. Specify the following values in the policy:

    • Specify any PAM user for X_PUM_ADMIN.

    • Specify the PAM user password for X_PUM_PASSWD.

After you have integrated PAM with NAM, type the following URL in a browser to access PAM:
