High-Level Design

the architecture of kron pam is designed to offer both centralization and distribution flexibility the core kron pam system handles session management, password vault operations, and overall policy enforcement from a central point this includes all provisioning of hardware resources, coordination of session activities, and management of security logs the kron pam high level design is shown below a fully functional kron pam deployment can be implemented with a minimum of two servers, with no more than two servers required for the minimum deployment configuration in complex environments—such as those employing remote data centers or requiring multitenancy—a hierarchical deployment model is used connector modules are installed at remote sites to interface between the central system and local user endpoints these connectors ensure that session requests and authentication processes are securely relayed to the central system horizontal scalability and load balancing kron pam supports native horizontal scalability through a distributed architecture multiple kron pam application nodes can operate as part of the same deployment, enabling workloads to be distributed across nodes and providing scalability as the number of users, sessions, and managed resources increases the architecture supports load balancing across the application nodes to distribute incoming requests and connections, allowing additional nodes to be added to the deployment as required without requiring a redesign of the overall system architecture
