17.1 Workflow to Configure UNIX and Linux Privileged Sessions

The generic workflow to configure the UNIX and Linux privileged sessions are as follows:

  1. Register the agent (Conditional)

    If you are using cpcksh, pcksh, or usrun methods, you must register the agent to the Framework Manager. For steps to register an agent, refer Installing and Registering a Framework Agent

  2. Create a Privileged Account Domain (Conditional)

    If you are using SSH Relay, you must create a privileged account domain.For steps to create a privileged account domain, refer Creating an Account Domain for Linux or Unix Systems.

  3. Add a User Group (Optional)

    Add a user group with a list of UNIX or Linux system users, who are intended to get privileged access. For steps to add a user group, refer Adding a User Group.

  4. Add and Modify the Command

    For steps to add a command, see Adding a Command. For SSH relay, you can also use the preloaded SSH Session command instead of adding a new command.

    For steps to modify a command, see Modifying a Command.

  5. Add a Rule

    For steps to add a rule, see Adding a Rule.

    NOTE:Ensure that you choose the correct value for the Run User. Based on the value of the Run User, the user gets appropriated privileged access.

  6. Add Commands and User Groups to the Rule

    After creating the rule, drag and drop the appropriate command and user group to the rule.

After making appropriate configurations in the Privileged Account Manager, you can access the target host using the SSH Client or User console appropriately.
