System overview¶
Fudo PAM is a complete solution for managing remote privileged access. Fudo PAM comprises four modules each dedicated to different aspects of remote access management:
- Privilege Session Monitoring (PSM)
- Secret Manager
- Efficiency Analyzer
- Application to Application Password Manager (AAPM)
PSM
PSM module enables facilitating constant monitoring of remote access sessions to IT infrastructure. Fudo PAM acts as a proxy between users and monitored servers and it registers users’ actions, including mouse pointer moves, keystrokes and transferred files.
The PSM module records complete network traffic along with meta data, enabling precise session playback and full-text content search.
Fudo PAM enables viewing current connections and intervening in a monitored session in case the administrator notices a potential misuse of access rights.
The PSM module supports following system configurations:
- Linux,
- FreeBSD,
- Mac OS X
- Microsoft Windows Server,
- Microsoft Windows,
- TightVNC,
- Solaris.
Secret manager
Fudo PAM can be also set up to automatically manage login credentials on monitored servers and periodically change passwords at specified time intervals (e.g. 1 hour).
Secret manager module supports password changing on following systems:
- Unix
- MySQL
- Cisco
- Cisco Enable Password
- MS Windows
It also enables configuring a custom password changer as a set of commands executed on remote a host.
For more information on the Secret Manager module, refer to the Password changers topic.
Efficiency Analyzer
Efficiency Analyzer module tracks users’ actions and provides precise information on their activity and idle times.
For more information on the Efficiency Analyzer module, refer to the Efficiency analyzer topic.
Application to Application Password Manager (AAPM)
AAPM module enables secure passwords exchange between applications.
AAPM supported operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows operating systems,
- Linux family operating systems,
- BSD family operating systems.
For more information on the AAPM module, refer to the AAPM (Application to Application Password Manager) topic.
