Managing devices

This section describes how devices are provisioned and managed within the Admin Interface. The following topics are included in this section:

Manage devices

The manage devices page provides a list of all devices provisioned in Osirium PAM. A device template is required to provision a device so it can be administered.

Device templates provide Osirium PAM with the necessary access control and account provisioning information for a device. Device templates can be expanded to include auditable parameters, delegated tasks and custom business process tasks. See Template Library.

To provide device access to users, profiles need to be created and devices, tools, tasks, users, user groups added to the profile. See Creating a New Profile.

To view the Manage devices page, click Devices in the left-hand menu.

Manage devices table

The information presented in the table includes:

Heading Description
Device status icon The following describes what the different device icon states mean:

Unpolled Device icon Device has been successfully provisioned but not yet polled.

Usable Device icon Device is in a good state and reachable on the network. No alerts have been flagged.

Alert Device icon Raised when a task run on the device fails. Look on the Device detail page > Recent system queue or the System queue for failed tasks against the device.

Unreachable Device icon Polling has failed. The Monitor Devices system task has failed to communicate with at least one of the devices available access methods. Therefore, some or all of the device tools may be unavailable.

Unmanaged Device icon This device is not managed by Osirium PAM but the username/password are saved within Osirium PAM. The only tool available to device is Reveal Credentials.

Name This is the display name that will be given to the device, to identify it within the UI and Admin Interface.
Enabled If the checkbox is Checked box checked then the device is enabled. Allows the user to access the device.

If the checkbox is Unchecked box unchecked then the device access has been disabled for all users. The device will no longer be available to the user. But the device will NOT be removed from any profiles.

Last activity Represents the date and time the device was last accessed..
Hostname The unique label assigned to the device.
IP Address The the network IP Address of the device.
Max connections Allows you to set a maximum limit for the number of connections or users that can be connected to the device at any one time.

- For RDP and SSH the maximum connections refers to the maximum number of connections to the device.

- For HTTP/HTTPS connections the maximum connections refers to the maximum number of users. This is because the proxy cannot determine how many separate HTTP/HTTPS sessions a user has open to the device.

Leaving the field blank defaults to unlimited connections.

NOTE This functionality is useful in cases when you:

- Have device license limits.

- Want to restrict the number of users that connect to a device.

Account source Indicates which account source method the device is using.

See Active Directory or see Manage Static Vaults.

Template Name and version of the device template that is being used to manage the device. See Template Library.
Vendor Name of the device vendor.
# Profiles Displays the number of profiles the device belongs to.
Meta-info Meta-columns allow you to attach many kinds of information against each device. For details on configuring meta columns, see Configure Meta-Info.

Device context menu options

A number of context menu options are available when you highlight a device and then right-click. Some of the more common options are described in the Common Interface Functions section.

Action Description
Clear alert Once the alert has been investigated and resolved, the alert can be cleared by the using this option. The MonitorDevices task and Lower Alert task is run against the device. If there have been no more failed tasks, then the device status will be set to Usable Device icon.
Migrate template Allows you to migrate the device to a different template. See Migrating a Template.

NOTE You can't migrate the template of a device which has been disabled.

Delete icon Unprovision Unprovisioning a device removes the device so it can no longer be administered.
See Unprovision.
Force remove
Force remove
Deletes the device without attempting to delete any Osirium PAM accounts from the device or Active Directory.

Used in cases where the device has been taken off the network and will not be reinstated.
See Force Remove.

NOTE Caution should be used if the device is still functional. If the device has been provisioned as Managed, then you will have to change the password. To recover the password you must generate a breakglass PDF so you have the password to log onto the device directly. See Generate Breakglass PDF or KeePass File.

Control accounts

When provisioning a device, the user has a choice as to how the device will be managed. The following diagram explains the control account options available when provisioning a device.

On Osirium PAM On Device
Control Account Type Store Password Change Password
Known Checked box
Managed Checked box Checked box
Fully Managed Checked box Checked box

Adding a device

There are a number of ways Osirium PAM can interact with devices:

  • Adding a local device: Osirium PAM creates/uses a local account on the device.

  • Adding a device using an Active Directory: Osirium PAM uses an existing Active Directory account with the correct privilege level to perform the required task.

  • Adding a device using an account listed in the static vault: an account is selected from accounts stored within Osirium PAM static vault service. These accounts are pre-existing on the device being provisioned.

Adding a device using a local device account

To add a device using an account that already exists on the device:

  1. On the Manage devices page, click on the Plus icon NEW DEVICE button. The New device window opens.

  2. In the Choose device template window, click on the correct template for the device.

    Choose device template window

  3. Click CHOOSE.

  4. In the Connection details window, enter the device configuration information which will be used to make a connection.

    Connection details tab

    Note

    The fields within the Connection details page may differ depending on the device template selected.
    To validate the hostname use the following naming convention:

    - First character: alphanumeric (A-Z a-z 0-9).
    - Middle character(s): alphanumeric (A-Z a-z 0-9) and dash (-).
    - Last character: alphanumeric (A-Z a-z 0-9).

  5. Click CONTINUE. The Device access details window appears.

    Device access details

  6. Within the Device access details window, enter a valid device account username.

  7. In the Authentication drop-down, select one of the following authentication methods:

    • Password: provisions the device with a password only.
    • SSH Key: provisions the device with SSH key authentication only.
    • Both: provisions the device with both SSH key and password authentication.

      Depending on your selection, one or more credential fields display beneath the Authentication drop-down.

  8. In the available field(s), provide the authentication credentials:

    • Password: type a password.
    • SSH private key: click the field or Popup editor icon to upload an SSH private key.
    • SSH key passphrase: if necessary, type an SSH key passphrase.
  9. Click PROCEED. The Device Verify Task is run:

    • Osirium PAM uses the credentials provided to connect to the device.
    • Checks the device version is compatible with the template selected.
    • Closes the connection to the device.

    Note

    At this stage, the device account details provided are not stored within Osirium PAM. They are temporarily stored in your browser as they will be required again later.

  10. In the Create device window, on the left-hand side, enter a Device name to help identify the device.

    Create device tab

  11. Select a control account state. The state selected will determine how the selected account will be managed. See Control Accounts.

    The selected control account will be used to:

    • Create and delete Osirium PAM accounts on the device.
    • Run tasks on the device.
    • Refresh passwords.
  12. Click CREATE. The control account is used to communicate with the device and runs the following tasks to complete the provisioning:

    DeviceAudit task:

    • Audits the device and gathers the relevant information to populate the Inventory report.
    • Discovers any local user accounts and assigns an account state to each account.

      If any known accounts have been specified in the template, they will be audited and assigned a state of Approved. All other device accounts found during the audit will have a state of Unapproved. See Changing States.

    DeviceProvision task:

    Depending on the control account state selected the following operations will be performed:

    Control accounts Description
    Fully managed Uses the devices access details provided within the Connection details tab to create an Osirium PAM management account (osirium1) on the device. This account will be given the highest access level available on the device.

    The device access details provided will NOT be stored.

    The newly created Osirium PAM management accounts will be used to manage and run tasks on the device.

    Managed Uses the devices access details to connect to the device.

    The selected control account name is stored and it’s password changed. The control account password with be managed and Osirium PAM will use this account to manage and run tasks on the device.

    Known Uses the devices access details to connect to the device.

    The supplied username and password is stored in the database.

    The account will be used to manage and run tasks on the device.

Adding an Active Directory member device using an account source

Osirium PAM can interact with the Active Directory directly to offer the same range of single sign-on options that you have with a device with local accounts.

Adding member servers:

  1. Before member servers/clients can be provisioned using an Active Directory account source, the Active Directory must first be added. See Adding an Active Directory.

  2. On the Manage devices page, click on the Plus icon NEW DEVICE button. The New device window opens.

  3. Click a template requiring an Active Directory account source.

    Choose member device template

  4. Click CHOOSE. The Connection details window appears.

  5. In the Connection details window, enter the member servers/client configuration information which will be used to make a connection.

    Connection details tab for Windows

    Note

    Active Directory Replication delay is available for Active Directory domains with multiple sites that may be using inter-site replication delay.

    For example:
    - An Active Directory domain has a Site A and Site B.
    - The inter site replication delay between these two sites is 15 minutes.
    - If a new group is added into Active Directory on the Domain Controller in Site A, it would take 15 minutes for the group to be replicated to Site B.
    - This means that if the account source is the Domain Controller on Site A, and a member server from Site B is provisioned, then the task would fail until the replication has taken place.

  6. Click CONTINUE.

  7. In the Create device window, select a control account from the accounts listed which exist on the Active Directory, but not on the member servers. See Control Accounts.

    Create member device tab

  8. Click CREATE. The member servers provisioning process will be queued and perform different operations depending on the type of control account selected.

    The DeviceAuditTask is run:

    • The control account is used to audit the accounts that exist on the Active Directory and the accounts that exist on member servers/client.
    • If any known accounts have been specified in the template using the <accounts> tag, they will be listed on the Manage accounts page and the Device detail > Account management tab, with a state of Approved.
    • All other Active Directory accounts found during the audit will have a state of Unapproved.

    The DeviceProvisionTask is run:

    • Osirium PAM uses the Active Directory details provided during connection to create the osirium_deviceaccess_account on the Active Directory within the Osirium OU > Users OU. This account will be used to manage the member servers.
    • The selected Active Directory account is NOT stored in Osirium PAM.
    • The osirium_deviceaccess_account account will be marked as the control account on the Manage accounts > Service accounts tab and linked to the user: PAM Server.

      AD Osirium device access account

    • Osirium PAM uses the control account.

    • The Group OU is created within Osirium PAM OU on the Active Directory, and a group per accesstoken (derived from the template) is created. Each accesstoken is then added as a member of the appropriate built-in group in Active Directory.

      AD Osirium groups

      Windows member group template

      Note

      The osirium_deviceaccess_account may already have been created when the Active Directory was added, if the create account checkbox was checked.

Adding a device using a static vault account source

To provision a device to use an account store in the static vault:

  1. Before a device can be provisioned ensure the account has been added to the static vault. See Manage Static Vaults.

  2. On the Manage devices page, click on the Plus icon NEW DEVICE button. The New device window opens.

  3. Click a template requiring a static vault account source.

    Choose static vault template

  4. Click CHOOSE. The Connection details window appears.

  5. In the Connection details window, enter the device configuration information which will be used to make a connection.

    Connection details tab

  6. Click CONTINUE.

  7. In the Create device window, select a static vault. The Select control account window will update and list all the accounts available in the selected static vault.

    Create device with static vault tab

  8. Select an account from the list.

  9. Click CREATE. The device will be provisioned.

    The control account selected will be used to:

    • Create and delete Osirium PAM accounts on the device.
    • Run tasks on the device.
    • Refresh passwords.
  10. The DeviceAudit task is run:

    • The control account is used to audit the accounts that exist on the device and populate the Inventory report.
    • If any known accounts have been specified in the template using the <accounts> tag, they will be listed on the Manage accounts page and the Device detail > Account management tab, with a state of Approved.
    • All other device accounts found during the audit will have a state of Unapproved.

    The DeviceProvisionTask is also run during the provisioning process. As all static vault accounts are known, Osirium PAM uses the devices authentication details stored in the static vault to connect to the device.
