Containerization of Web Browser
To be able to record videos of HTTP sessions, the HTTP session must be initiated through RDP, which is possible via containerization. To enable the containerization feature, the corresponding licenses are required. In this section, we only address the required configurations. More details about the containerization feature can be found in our user manual How to Reach HTTP Devices Through Containers
There is no need for a separate installation as the HTTP Proxy Container image file is included by default during installation.
To set the resources for the containers to be created:
- Navigate to Administration > System Config Man.
- Set the resources.of.containers parameter with one of these values: local, remote, or all.
These values define which kind of resources will be used by the container manager.
To define which user(/s) should reach HTTP devices through containers:
- Navigate to Users > Users > User Group Properties.
- Click Add New Property.
- Set the accessOverContainer property key as true.
To specify which HTTP device access to use containerization:
- Navigate to Devices > Inventory.
- Click the Edit Device then add the accessOverContainer value as true under Custom Properties.
After saving this setting couple, some additional properties will be loaded automatically.
From now on, that HTTP device can be reached only from the PAM Management UI and Kron PAM Desktop Client Application by the defined individual accounts.
When the “Open Website on Container” button is clicked, the relevant site will begin running inside a Docker container, and Kron PAM will automatically fill in the username and password fields for the user, enabling access to the page.
