Configure PAM session servers

Definition

Soffid provides the functionality that allows you to configure the Jump servers. That option is located on "Main Menu > Administration > Configure Soffid > Security settings > Configure PAM session servers"

To configure that functionality is mandatory to install PAM following the intructions of the PAM installation page.

A Jump server is the control point that force users to log into that system first, then, they could traverse to other servers without having to log in again. The purpose of a jump server is to be the only gateway for access to your infrastructure reducing the size of any potential attack surface.
