Integration with ARCON PAM

We at ARCON have a product PAM(Privilege Access Management) system. It provides a SSO and password vault services.


We want to integrate with Royal TSX. To do that we need to lauch royal TSX auto-create the dynamic folders. When a user opens a new RDP or SSH connection we would like to fetch the password from the Vault API and establish the connection.


I tried to read the https://www.royalapplications.com/go/kb-all-royaljson but still not sure how do we proceed with this requirement.

Hi Kalpesh,


I'm sorry for the delay.


I stepped through the code and found the issue. The problem is that in the JSON the arguments like this:

    "Arguments": "-ssh 10.10.0.38 -l $EffectiveUsername$ -pw $EffectivePassword$ -P 22 -X",


will resolve the the $EffectiveUsername$ and the $EffectivePassword$ with the credentials of the dynamic folder.


To ensure the tokens are resolved at connect time using the dynamic credential values, you need to escape the tokens:

    "Arguments": "-ssh 10.10.0.38 -l $$EffectiveUsername$$ -pw $$EffectivePassword$$ -P 22 -X",


Let me know if this works.


Regards,
Stefan

I see you assign the CredentialID "00002" to the object. Is this credential a dynamic credential and returns the dynamic credential script the appropriate username and password?

Yes the api returns


{
    "Username": "user1",
    "Password": "user@111"
}



The readme on https://github.com/royalapplications/toolbox/tree/master/Dynamic%20Folder suggest that to create a dynamic folder the user has to manually "Import - Dynamic Folder". Is there a way to automate this via an external application?

Can you examine the logs (via the View tab) and check if there's an error or warning?

I'm not sure why you would want to automate that step. Could you please elaborate?

If we need an external application to launch Royal TS, we would need to automatically create the dynamic folders. Is there a way to provide the .rdfe as an input while launching ?

Hi Kalpesh,


the purpose of the dynamic folder is that the script embedded is doing all the work and populates the objects based on the json output. I'm not sure why you want to dynamically create a dynamic folder. Maybe there's a misunderstanding but once you have created the dynamic folder with the script, you can simply put this folder in a document and let Royal TS open that document by either command line argument or by using the auto start feature in View -> Options -> General.


If you can provide more information about your scenario, I'm sure I can help you find a proper solution.

Stefan
