PUT PAM Providers

The PUT /PamProviders method updates an existing PAM provider. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details for the updated provider.

Tip: The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

/pam/modify/

/pam/modify/#/ (where # is a reference to a specific PAM provider ID)

Permissions for PAM providers and certificate stores can be set at either the global or PAM provider level. See PAM Permissions for more information about global vs PAM provider permissions.

Important: Any previously populated fields that are not submitted with their full existing data using this method will be cleared of their existing data. When using this method, you should first do a GET to retrieve all the values for the record you want to update, enter corrected data into the field(s) you want to update, and then submit all the fields using PUT, including the fields that contain values but which you are not changing.

Table 499: PUT PamProviders Input Parameters

Name

Description

Body

Required. An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID for the PAM provider. This ID is automatically set by Keyfactor Command.

Name

Body

Required. A string indicating the name of the PAM provider. This name is used to identify the PAM provider throughout Keyfactor Command.

Important: The name you give to your PAM provider in Keyfactor Command must match the name of the PAM provider as referenced in the manifest.json file (see ).

Area

Body

An integer indicating the area of Keyfactor Command the provider is used for. PAM providers generally have a value of 1, indicating they can be used for certificate stores.

Provider Type

Body

An object containing details about the provider type for the provider.

Value

Description

A string indicating the Keyfactor Command reference GUID for the provider type.

Name

A string indicating the name of the provider type.

Provider Type Params

An array of objects indicating parameters that the provider type uses for data input in Keyfactor Command when creating new PAM provider records and records using PAM providers.

Value

Description

An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID for the PAM provider type.

Name

A string indicating the internal name for the PAM provider type parameter.

Display Name

A string indicating the display name for the PAM provider type parameter. For provider types with an InstanceLevel of False, this name appears on the PAM provider dialog when a user creates a new PAM provider. For parameters with an InstanceLevel of True, this name appears on the dialog when a user creates a new record using the PAM provider (e.g. a new certificate store using PAM for authentication).

Data Type

An integer indicating the data type for the parameter. Possible values are:

1 = String
2 = Secret

Instance Level

A Boolean that sets whether the parameter is used to define the underlying PAM provider (False) or a field that needs to be set to a value when configuring a record (e.g. a certificate store) to use the PAM provider (True).

Example: For Delinea when defining a PAM provider, you configure two Delinea-specific fields:

Secret Server URL: The URL to the Secret Server vault instance, including port number if applicable (e.g. https://websrvr38 .keyexample.com/ SecretServer).
Secret Server Username: The name of the user that will be used to connect to SecretServer.
Secret Server Password: The password of the user that will be used to connect to SecretServer.

Because these fields are configured on the PAM provider definition, they appear as InstanceLevel=False like so:

{
   "Name": "Host",
   "DisplayName":"Secret Server URL", 
   "InstanceLevel":false,
   "DataType": "string"
},
{
   "Name":"Username",
   "DisplayName":"Secret Server Username", 
   "InstanceLevel":false,
   "DataType": "secret"
},
{
   "Name":"Password",
   "DisplayName":"Secret Server Password", 
   "InstanceLevel":false,
   "DataType": "secret"
}

When you configure a certificate store to use Delinea as a credential provider, you enter the name of the secret field in Delinea referencing the protected object and you enter the ID of the projected object containing the username or password used to access the certificate store. Because these fields are configured on the certificate store level, they appear as InstanceLevel=True like so:

{
   "Name":"SecretId",
   "DisplayName":"Secret Server Secret ID", 
   "InstanceLevel":true,
   "DataType": "string"
},
{
   "Name":"SecretFieldName",
   "DisplayName":"Secret Field Name", 
   "InstanceLevel":true,
   "DataType": "string"
}

In both cases, the values for the fields (e.g. the actual name of the object in Delinea where the password is stored) are stored in the ProviderTypeParamValues array.

Provider Type

An object containing details for the provider type.

Value	Description
Id	A string indicating the Keyfactor Command reference GUID for the PAM provider type parameter.

Display Name

A string indicating the display name for the PAM provider type parameter. For parameters with an InstanceLevel of False, this name appears on the PAM provider dialog for the parameter when a user creates a new PAM provider. For parameters with an InstanceLevel of True, this name appears on the Server dialog for the parameter when a user creates a new PAM provider.

Data Type

An integer indicating the data type for the parameter. Possible values are:

1 = String
2 = Secret

Instance Level

A Boolean that sets whether the parameter is used to define the underlying PAM provider (False) or a field that needs to be set to a value when configuring a certificate store to use the PAM provider (True).

See example, above.
