Configure PAM session servers

Definition

Soffid provides the functionality that allows you to configure the Jump servers.

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

A Jump server is the control point that forces 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.

For correct configuration, you must first create a PAM server group and then publish the store service and any available jump servers within it.
