RBI Connections

Keeper Connections - Remote Browser Isolation (http/https) Protocol

Overview

KeeperPAM enables zero-trust privileged session management for web applications using the Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) protocol. This guide explains how to configure RBI connections on your PAM Remote Browser Records in the Keeper Vault. Secure web sessions are initiated from the Vault, routed through the Keeper Gateway, and delivered directly to target applications.

Prerequisites

Prior to following this guide, familiarize yourself with the prerequisites on the Connection's Getting Started page.

The following PAM records are needed in order to successfully setup this protocol:

PAM Record	Definition
PAM Configuration	The PAM Configuration contains information of your target infrastructure.
PAM Remote Browser	The PAM Remote Browser record contains information of the endpoint you want to establish a web session to.
PAM User Record	The PAM User record contains the user credentials that will be used to autofill credentials on the web page.

This guide will use a Jenkins web application.

1. Editing the PAM Record

2. Clicking on "Set Up" in the PAM Settings section

3. Navigate to the "Connection" section in the prompted window
