Creating a user¶
Warning
Data model objects: safes, users, servers, accounts and listeners are replicated within the cluster and object instances must not be added on each node. In case the replication mechanism fails to copy objects to other nodes, contact technical support department.
Warning
Creating a User object for MySQL connections, please note that the MySQL server caching_sha2_password
plugin isn’t supported by Fudo PAM. Supportable MySQL plugins by Fudo PAM are mysql_native_password
and mysql_old_password
. Server plugin should be set to mysql_native_password
in /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
and a User object is created with mysql_native_password
plugin.
- Click + icon next to the tab of the sub-section,
or
- Select > and then click .
Note
Fudo PAM enables creating users based on the existing definitions. Click desired user to access its configuration parameters and click
to create a new object based on the selected definition.- Enter user login.
Note
- While there can be more than one user with the same username, the login and domain combination must be unique.
- The Login field is not case sensitive.
- Enter Fudo domain.
Note
- With the Fudo domain specified, the user will have to include it when logging into the administration panel or when establishing monitored connections.
- Default domain allows for a discretion - user can either include the domain or leave it out.
- Select the Blocked option to prevent user from accessing servers and resources monitored by Fudo PAM.
- Define account’s validity period.
- Select user’s role, which will determine the access rights.
Note
Access rights restrictions also apply to API interface access.
Role | Access rights |
---|---|
user |
|
service |
|
operator |
|
admin |
|
superadmin |
|
- Select user’s preferred language in Fudo PAM administration panel.
- Grant access to safes.
Note
- Drag and drop safe objects to change the order in safes are processed upon establishing connection.
- Click safe to define time access policy.
- Click Reveal password option to enable displaying password on User Portal (Access Gateway).
- Enter user’s full name.
- Enter user’s email address.
- Enter user’s organizational unit.
- Enter user’s phone number.
- Provide user’s Active Directory domain.
Note
If there are two users with the same login, one of which has the domain configured the same as the default domain, and the other does not have the domain defined, Fudo PAM will report authentication problem as it cannot determine which user is trying to connect.
- Enter LDAP service BaseDN parameter.
Note
- LDAP base is necessary for authenticating the user using the Active Directory service.
- E.g. for
example.com
domain, the LDAP base parameter value should bedc=example,dc=com
.
- In the Permissions section, select users allowed to manage this user object and in case of operators/administrators, assign management privileges to selected data model objects.
Note
Granting a user access to certain session requires assigning management priviliges to: server, account, user and safe objects that were used in the given connection.
- In the Authentication section, select the Authentication failures option to block the user automatically after exceeding the number of failed login attempts.
Note
The authentication failures counter is enabled only if the Authentication failures option is set in > in the User authentication and sessions section.
- Select the Enforce static password complexity option to force static passwords to conform to specified settings.
Note
Password complexity is defined in Users authentication and sessions section.
