Overview

In Keeper, the PAM Configuration contains essential information of your target infrastructure, settings and associated Keeper Gateway. We recommend setting up one PAM Configuration for each Gateway and network being managed.

Creating PAM Configuration

To create a new PAM Configuration:

  • Login to the Keeper Vault

  • Select Secrets Manager and the "PAM Configurations" tab

  • Click on "New Configuration"

PAM Configuration Fields

When setting up the PAM Configuration, you have the option of choosing one of the following environments:

The following tables provides more details on each configurable fields in the PAM Configuration record regardless of the environment you choose:

Field
Description
Notes

Title

Name of PAM configuration record

Ex: US-EAST-1 Config

Gateway

The configured gateway

Application Folder

The shared folder where the PAM Configuration data will be stored

Best practice is to create a folder with limited access to admins. See Security Note (1) below

PAM Settings

List of Zero-Trust KeeperPAM features that should be enabled

Default Rotation Schedule

Specify frequency of Rotation

Ex: Daily

Port Mapping

Define alternative default ports

Security Note (1) The PAM Configuration information is stored as a record in the vault inside the specified Application Folder and may contain secrets. Therefore, we recommend that the Application Folder should be limited in access to only privileged admins.

The following tables provides more details on each configurable fields in the PAM Network Configuration record based on the environment you chose:

Access Key ID

From an IAM user account, the Access key ID from the desired Access key.

Leave Empty when EC2 instance role is assumed.

Secret Access Key

The secret key for the access key.

Leave Empty when EC2 instance role is assumed.

Region Names

AWS region names used for discovery. Separate newline per region

Ex: us-east-2 us-west-1

Port Mapping

Any non-standard ports referenced. Separate newline per entry

Ex: 2222=ssh 3390=rdp

Azure Environment
