Defining Global Username and Global Password to Authenticate to the Linux Server
2 min
There are different ways to connect to a device via Kron PAM. One of them is to define the username and password of the Linux/Windows server. Global usernames and passwords are local user credentials already used for the Linux/Windows device. Admin users can define these credentials in Kron PAM.
The perks of this method are as below:
- Kron PAM’s privileged users won’t know the server’s password and can only reach the server over Kron PAM.
- It prevents password sharing and keeps all the logs of connected users.
To define global username and password for the respective server, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Device Management > Device Groups.
- Go to the Device Groups tab.
- Right-click on the device group containing the Linux/Windows Server and select Show Properties.
- Select globalUsername from the Property Key section. Enter the username of the Linux/Windows Server User into the Value section and save
- Select globalPassword from the Property Key section. Enter the password of the Linux/Windows Server User into the Value section and Save.
