Privileged Session Management

Privileged Session Management (PSM) is a security component that allows an organization to control, record, and audit privileged user sessions (such as admin, root, or sysadmin) accessing critical systems.

ZT-PAM Interface


Parameters

Parameter NameDescription
SessionRecordingActivateEnables session recording.
MaxSessionDurationLimitTimeDefines the maximum session duration (in minutes).
SessionRecordNotificationActivateDisplays a notification to inform the user when the session is being recorded.
LiveMonitoringNotificationActivateSends a notification to the user during a live monitoring session.
AutomaticCheckInUnlockAccountActivateAutomatically performs a check-in after the session ends. (This works if check-in is enabled at the platform level.) If automatic check-in is disabled, the user must manually perform the check-in.
EnforceDualControlTimeFrameActivateDetermines whether the time frame defined in the Dual Control request will be enforced during the session. If enabled, sessions are terminated either at the end of the Dual Control time frame or the MaxSessionDuration (whichever occurs first). The user receives a warning before disconnection, based on the WarningDisconnectionInterval value.
WarningDisconnectiontIntervalActivateEnables the display of a warning message before the session is disconnected.
WarningDisconnectiontIntervalTimeDefines the number of minutes before disconnection when the warning message is displayed.

HTML5 Gateway Server

The HTML5 Gateway Server is a web-based session gateway that enables users to securely connect to privileged systems directly through a web browser — without the need to install additional clients such as RDP or SSH.

ZT-PAM Interface


Advantages

Clientless Access: Users don’t need to install RDP/SSH clients — only a browser is required.
Secure Proxy Layer: Credentials are never exposed to the user; the gateway handles authentication in the background.
Recording and Auditing: The entire session screen and command history are recorded.
Multi-Platform Support: Works across Windows, macOS, Linux, iPad, and Android — all via browser.
Zero Trust Compatible: Users are not given direct network access; only the session stream is delivered.
Session Policy Enforcement: Copy-paste, file transfer, and clipboard policies can be enforced at runtime.


HTML5 Gateway Parameters

The following parameters are available for configuring HTML5 Gateway connections:

Parameter NameDescription
AddressThe configured address of your Web Gateway server. Can be defined as an IP address or FQDN.
PortThe port number configured for your Web Gateway server.
SecurityDefines the security requirements between the Web Gateway and target system.

any: Automatically selects the best available option (tries NLA, TLS, then RDP in order).
IgnoreCertAllows the Web Gateway to accept connections regardless of certificate validity.
KeyboardLayoutDefines or forces the desired keyboard layout during the connection.
