6.3 Deploying the Access Control Module

When you install Privileged Account Manager, the Framework User Manager console is installed with the other required modules. If you want to manage Framework users from other hosts, you need to deploy the Access Control modules on these hosts. You should always have at least one host that contains a backup of this console.

The Access Control module consists of the following packages:

  • Access Manager (auth): Holds the Framework user account information and controls access to the Framework modules.

  • Access Control Console: Required for configuring Framework users and groups. It is installed into the Framework Manager console as the Framework User Manager console.

The Access Control module has the following dependencies:

  • The Access Manager package is shown as an available package only on hosts that have the Registry Manager (registry) package installed.

  • The Access Control Console can only be deployed on hosts that have the Administration Manager (admin) package installed.

To deploy the Access Control modules on another host:

  1. Download the following packages to your local Package Manager:

    • Access Manager

    • Access Control Console

    • Registry Manager

    • Administration Manager

    See Publishing Packages on the Package Manager in the Privileged Account Manager Installation Guide for details.

  2. Install the Registry Manager on the host you want to be the Access Manager, then install the Access Manager on the same host.

    This can be on any operating system, including Windows*. See Installing Packages on a Host for details. The packages can be deployed to as many hosts as you need in order to build an environment with load balancing and failover.

  3. Install the Administration Manager on the same host or a different host.

    It can be deployed to as many hosts as you need in order to build an environment with load balancing and failover.

The Access Control module is now deployed and ready to use.
