Sub-Command: connection

This command will edit the connection parameters and user accounts that are attached to PAM Machine and PAM Database records. The process can also be done in bulk with the run-batch command. To launch the connection, use the Keeper vault or Desktop app.

Prerequisites: Ensure that the PAM user credential, PAM Machine or PAM Database records are staged in a shared folder. Also ensure that there is a gateway configured, and everything is tied together in a PAM Configuration.

-a "/Share Folder Name/Record Name" -p=rdp -cn=on -cr=on -cop=3389

2. My Vault> pam connection edit "/{{ Email }}/{{ Email }} SSH" -c ocYDOuzwt3n0iYXuYk0lHw 
-a "/Share Folder Name/Record Name" -p=ssh -cn=on -cr=on -cop=22 -s

3. My Vault> pam connection edit "/{{ Email }}/{{ Email }} MSSQL" -c ocYDOuzwt3n0iYXuYk0lHw 
-a "/Share Folder Name/Record Name" -p=sql-server -cn=on -tr=on -cop=1433

example 1: Creates an RDP connection and assigns an administrative credential and PAM configuration. Activates the connection and screen recording.

example 2: Creates an SSH connection and assigns and administrative credential and PAM configuration. Activates the connection and screen recording while running in silent mode without screen outputs.

example 3: Creates an MSSQL connection and assigns and administrative credential and PAM configuration. Activates the connection and typescript recording.
