GET PAM Providers Types

The GET /PamProviders/Types method returns a list of all the PAM provider types that have been configured in Keyfactor Command. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details about each PAM provider type. This method has no input parameters other than the standard headers (see Endpoint Common Features).

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

/pam/read/

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

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

This method has two available versions. Keyfactor recommends using the newer method when possible. For more information about versioning, see Versioning. The data returned in the response is the same for both versions.

Table 527: GET PamProviders Types v1 & v2 Response Data

Name Description

Id A string containing the Keyfactor Command reference GUID for the PAM provider type.

Name A string containing the name of the PAM provider type.

Parameters

An array of objects containing parameters set for the PAM provider type.

Show parameter details.

Value

Description

An integer indicating the ID of the parameter. Parameters will vary depending on your PAM extension. Show built-in parameter values.

Value	Description
1	Private Ark Safe
2	PrivateArk Folder Name
3	PrivateArk Protected Password Name
4	Application ID
5	Secret Server Url
6	Rule Name
7	Thycotic Secret ID
8	Rule Key

Name

A string indicating the internal name for the PAM parameter.

Display Name

A string indicating the display name for the PAM parameter. For parameters 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).

DataType

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:

Copy

{
   "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:

Copy

{
   "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.
