SFTP Proxy
Encryption of Stored Files in SFTP Proxy
1min
A user can upload or download files when connecting to an end-point via the Kron PAM SFTP Proxy. This SFTP Proxy feature allows the transferred files to be saved on the Kron PAM server. The saved copies are encrypted and can be opened only with the key generated during the file transfer. This functionality is a security feature to analyze and investigate the transferred files in depth, by content, and not just by file names. To configure and use this functionality:
- Navigate to Policy Control > Portal Functions.
- Add the realm between the Sftp Download File Manager function group and the user group that will be able to see the transferred files.
- Add the ‘single.connect.user.logs.moduleVisibility’ function to a function group in a realm with the related user group (i.e. add the single.connect.user.logs.moduleVisibility function to the Sftp Download File Manager portal function group)
- Navigate to Devices > Inventory> Device Group>Custom Properties and define the keepTransferredFileInSftpSessions property as true for the related Device Group properties.
Keep Transferred File Property

- In the Sftp Proxy conf file ( /u01/sftp-proxy/conf/nsso.properties), set the following parameters: sftp.allowedfiletypes.tokeep (txt, png, etc.) sftp.max.filesize.limit.tokeep in Mbytes.
- Install zip for proxy server ( yum install zip )
- Restart the sftp-proxy service ( systemctl restart pam-sftp)
If the configurations described above are completed, the users with the related portal function will be able to see the transferred files in the command logs (Logging > Session Log > Command Logs).
