Creating certificate-based PAM user accounts

The users of a certificate-based PAM user account are authenticated using a certificate in the Privileged Account Management system.

To create a certificate-based PAM user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management > User accounts category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the General tab, enter the following data as a minimum:

    • Appliance: Appliance to which the user account belongs.

    • Identity provider: Select the Local value.

    • User name: Enter the name to display.

    • Authentication provider: Select Certificate.

    • Certificate thumbprint (SHA-1): Enter the unique hash value (40 hexadecimal characters) of the certificate.

      NOTE: You can copy the thumbprint value directly from the certificate and insert it here, including blank characters.

    • Time zone: The user's time zone. The default time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

  4. Save the changes.

Creating PAM user accounts for directory users

Directory users are user accounts from an external target system, for example Active Directory or LDAP. Authentication takes place through a user account of the relevant directory service, for example Active Directory user account or LDAP user account.

You can only create directory users in One Identity Manager if the Active Directory environment or the LDAP environment is imported into the One Identity Manager.

To create a PAM user account for directory users

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management > User accounts category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the General tab, enter the following data as a minimum:

    • Appliance: Appliance to which the user account belongs.

    • Identity provider: Root domain of the respective directory server.

    • Identity object: Select the user account from the identity provider.

      1. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the following information:

        • Table: Table in which the user accounts are mapped. This table is preselected.

          For an Active Directory user account, ADSAccount is selected. For an LDAP user account, LDAPAccount is selected.

        • Identity object: Select the user account.

      2. Click OK.

      The domain, the user name, and the display name are determined from the user account.

    • Authentication provider: Select how the user is authenticated in the Privileged Account Management system. Depending on the authentication provider, other data may be required.

      • <Directory name>: Select the user account’s Active Directory or LDAP domain.

        You have the option to specify whether an Active Directory domain requires certificate authentication or not. Set the Require certificate authentication if the user requires their domain issued user certificate or SmartCard to log in.

      • <External organization>: Enter the email address or the name claim.

      • <RADIUS server>: Enter the login name of the RADIUS server.

    • Time zone: The user's time zone. The default time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

  4. Save the changes.

NOTE: If you use account definitions to create PAM user accounts for identities, for a PAM appliance, you have the option to define an Active Directory or LDAP account definition as a required account definition. In this case, an Active Directory or LDAP user account is first created for the identity. If this user account exists, the PAM user account is created as a directory user.

General main data of PAM user accounts

Enter the following general main data.

Table 21: Additional main data of a user account

Property

Description

Appliance

Appliance to which the user account belongs.

Identity

Identity that uses this user account.

  • An identity is already entered if the user account was generated by an account definition.

  • If you are using automatic identity assignment, an associated identity is found and added to the user account when you save the user account.

  • If you create the user account manually, you can select an identity in the menu.

    The menu displays activated and deactivated identities by default. If you do not want to see any deactivated identities, set the QER | Person| HideDeactivatedIdentities configuration parameter.

NOTE: If you assign a deactivated identity to a user account, it might be locked or deleted depending on the configuration.

You can create a new identity for a user account with an identity of type Organizational identity, Personalized administrator identity, Sponsored identity, Shared identity, or Service identity. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the required identity main data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

No link to an identity required

Specifies whether the user account is intentionally not assigned an identity. The option is automatically set if a user account is included in the exclusion list for automatic identity assignment or a corresponding attestation is carried out. You can set the option manually. Enable the option if the user account does not need to be linked with an identity (for example, if several identities use the user account).

If attestation approves these user accounts, these user accounts will not be submitted for attestation in the future. In the Web Portal, user accounts that are not linked to an identity can be filtered according to various criteria.

Not linked to an identity

Indicates why the No link to an identity required option is enabled for this user account. Possible values:

  • By administrator: The option was set manually by the administrator.

  • By attestation: The user account was attested.

  • By exclusion criterion: The user account is not associated with an identity due to an exclusion criterion. For example, the user account is included in the exclude list for automatic identity assignment (configuration parameter PersonExcludeList).

Account definition

Account definition through which the user account was created.

Use the account definition to automatically fill user account main data and to specify a manage level for the user account. One Identity Manager finds the IT operating data of the assigned identity and enters it in the corresponding fields in the user account.

NOTE: The account definition cannot be changed once the user account has been saved.

NOTE: Use the user account's Remove account definition task to reset the user account to Linked status. This removes the account definition from both the user account and the identity. The user account remains but is not managed by the account definition anymore. The task only removes account definitions that are directly assigned (XOrigin=1).

Manage level

Manage level of the user account. Select a manage level from the menu. You can only specify the manage level can if you have also entered an account definition. All manage levels of the selected account definition are available in the menu.

Identity provider

Source from which the user’s personal information is taken from. Permitted values are:

  • Local: Local PAM user account. You can enter contact data for this user account.

  • <Directory name>: External identity provider. Root domain of the respective directory server, for example, Active Directory or LDAP. Contact data are taken from the Active Directory or the LDAP user account.

    This variant is only available if the Active Directory domain or the LDAP domain is imported into the One Identity Manager.

  • Starling: Starling as an identity provider.

Identity object

User account in Active Directory or LDAP.

Authentication provider

Specifies how the user is authenticated in the Privileged Account Management system. Permitted values are:

  • Certificate: (Only for local identity providers) Authentication is performed using a certificate.

  • Local: (Only for local identity providers) The user is authenticated by a user name and password.

  • <Directory name>: (Only for local identity providers) The identity object’s domain. Authentication takes place through a user account of the relevant directory service, for example Active Directory user account or LDAP user account.

    This variant is only available if the Active Directory domain or the LDAP domain is imported into the One Identity Manager.

  • <External federation>: Name of an external organization. The given email address or the name claim used for authentication.

  • <RADIUS server>: Name of the RADIUS server. Authentication through the login name on the RADIUS server.

  • Starling: Authentication though Starling multifactor authentication. Authentication is done through the object ID of the Azure Active Directory user account.

User name

User name of the PAM user account.

Login name

PAM user account login name.

Password

Password for the user account. The identity’s central password can be mapped to the user account password. For more information about an identity’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

If you use a random generated initial password for the user accounts, it is automatically entered when a user account is created.

The password is deleted from the database after publishing to the target system.

NOTE: One Identity Manager password policies are taken into account when a user password is being verified. Ensure that the password policy does not violate the target system's requirements.

Confirmation

Reconfirm password.

Password never expires

Specifies whether the password expires. This option is usually used for service accounts.

Change password at next login

Specifies whether the user must change their password the next time they log in.

Domain

User account’s domain.

Require certificate authentication

Specifies whether the user can log in only with a domain-issued user certificate or SmartCard.

Certificate thumbprint (SHA-1)

Unique hash value (40 hexadecimal numbers) of the hash certificate.

Email address or name claim

Email address or name claim of the external organization’s user account.

Azure Active Directory object ID

Object ID of the Azure Active Directory user account.

Display name

 Display name of the PAM user account.

Last login

Time of the last login to the system.

Time zones

The user's time zone. The default time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Risk index (calculated)

Maximum risk index value of all assigned groups. The property is only visible if the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.

Category

Categories for the inheritance of groups by the user account. Groups can be selectively inherited by user accounts. To do this, groups and user accounts or contacts are divided into categories. Select one or more categories from the menu.

Identity type

User account's identity type Permitted values are:

  • Primary identity: Identity's default user account.

  • Organizational identity: Secondary user account used for different roles in the organization, for example for subcontracts with other functional areas.

  • Personalized administrator identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by one identity.

  • Sponsored identity: User account to use for a specific purpose. Training, for example.

  • Shared identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by several identities. Assign all identities that use this user account.

  • Service identity: Service account.

Groups can be inherited

Specifies whether the user account can inherit groups through the linked identity. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the identity is a member, or through IT Shop requests.

  • If you add an identity with a user account to a department, for example, and you have assigned groups to this department, the user account inherits these groups.

  • If an identity has requested group membership in the IT Shop and the request is granted approval, the identity's user account only inherits the group if the option is set.

Privileged user account

Specifies whether this is a privileged user account.
