Quick Start: Sandbox

Quickly and easily get started with a pre-configured PAM setup in your vault

Quick Start Wizard

To learn some KeeperPAM basics, we have created a wizard that is integrated into the Vault. If you select the Docker install method, this wizard will create all the necessary vault records, configurations and a customized Docker Compose file for quickly standing up a sandbox environment in less than 3 minutes.

1

Activate KeeperPAM

  • Login to the Admin Console in your region:

  • Under Admin > Roles, create a new role for PAM or modify an existing role

  • Go to Enforcement Policies and open the "Privilege Access Manager" section.

  • Enable all the PAM enforcement policies

  • Ensure you are assigned to this role

2

Run the New Gateway Wizard

  • Login to the Keeper Vault

  • Click on Create New > Gateway

  • Enter a name for the project, such as "My Infrastructure Demo"

  • Select Docker for the gateway

  • Select "Create with example records"

  • Click Next

  • After the wizard is finished, run the provided installer.

3

Test some PAM features

  • You can now instantly connect to any of the resources by clicking "Launch" from the record detail view.

  • The MySQL account, SSH password and SSH key can be rotated by clicking "Rotate" from the record detail within the Users folder.

  • Note: Remote Browser Isolation won't work on some ARM processors

Records Created

The wizard will create the following in your vault:

  • A folder containing Resources and Users in separate shared folders

  • A MySQL database

  • A Linux machine with VNC connection to the desktop UI

  • A Linux machine with SSH connection using an SSH Key

  • A Linux machine with SSH connection using a password

  • A Linux machine with RDP connection to the desktop UI

  • A Remote Browser Isolation session to bing.com

  • A Secrets Manager Application and PAM Configuration with all PAM features enabled

  • A Keeper Gateway ready to initialize
