PAM access request policies
An access request policy defines:
-
The scope (meaning, which assets, asset groups, asset accounts, directory accounts, or account groups).
-
The access type (password, SSH, SSH key, remote desktop, remote desktop application, Telnet)
-
The rules for requesting passwords, for example, the duration or how many approvals are required.
Access request policies are imported into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization. Changes to the object properties of individual access request policies can be re-imported by single object synchronization.
To display the properties of an access request policy
-
In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management > Appliances > <Appliance> > Entitlements > <Entitlement> category.
-
Select the access request policy in the result list.
-
Select the Change main data task.

PAM access requests
In One Identity Manager, you can request access requests for assets, asset accounts, directory accounts, asset groups, and account groups in a PAM system. For requesting an access request, the following products are available in IT Shop:
-
Password release request: To request passwords for accounts in a PAM system.
-
SSH key request: To requests SSH keys for accounts in a PAM system.
-
SSH session request: To request SSH sessions for assets in a PAM system.
-
Remote Desktop session request: To request remote desktop sessions for assets in a PAM system.
-
Telnet session request: To request Telnet sessions for assets in a PAM system.
The access requests are requested in the Web Portal. After the request is approved, a corresponding access request is created in the PAM system. To check out the requested password or session, the user logs on to the PAM system.
For more information about configuring the IT Shop, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide. For more information about requesting access requests in Web Portal, please refer to the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

System requirements for requesting PAM access requests
The access requests in the PAM system are created in process and script processing. The Job server must have the same configuration as the synchronization server (in terms of the installed software and the entitlements and certificates of the user account). Use the synchronization server.
In One Identity Safeguard, the following system prerequisites must be guaranteed:
-
The application-to-application service is enabled.
-
An application with the following properties has been registered and activated:
-
Name: One Identity Manager
-
Certificate user: Users for access to the One Identity Safeguard appliance (synchronization user)
-
Access request broker: Activated
At least one user or user group for which One Identity Safeguard will determine the access must be assigned to the access request broker.
This list is updated when access requests are created by the One Identity Manager.
-
To generate valid access requests whenever possible, do not set time restrictions on the entitlements and access request policies.
For more information about setting up the application to application service in One Identity Safeguard and configuring the entitlements and access request policies, see the One Identity Safeguard Administration Guide.
