KeeperPAM Commands

Management of KeeperPAM functionality including Discovery, Rotation, Connections and Tunneling

Overview

KeeperPAM including discovery, password rotation, PAM Configuration and Keeper Gateway configuration can be controlled and managed through Commander using the pam command and sub-commands. These commands support the Password Rotation and Discovery capabilities of Keeper Secrets Manager and KeeperPAM.

pam command

command: pam

Detail: Perform KeeperPAM controls.

My Vault> pam --help
pam command [--options]

Command    Description
---------  -----------------------------
gateway    Manage Gateways
config     Manage PAM Configurations
rotation   Manage Rotations
action     Execute action on the Gateway
tunnel     Manage Tunnels

Sub-Command: gateway

My Vault> pam gateway help
pam command [--options]

Command    Description
---------  ------------------
list       List Gateways
new        Create new Gateway

My Vault> pam config help
pam command [--options]

Command    Description
---------  -------------------------------------------------------------
new        Create new PAM Configuration
edit       Edit PAM Configuration
list       List available PAM Configurations associated with the Gateway
remove     Remove a PAM Configuration

Sub-Command: connection

Prerequisites: Ensure that the PAM user credential, PAM Machine or PAM Database records are staged in a shared folder - that there is a gateway configured, and everything is tied together in a PAM Configuration. This command will edit KCM connection parameters and user accounts that are attached to PAM Machine and PAM Database records. The process can be done in bulk with the run-batch command.
