Deploy the Session Recording Scripts

User session recording works in conjunction with PUPM automatic login. When a user checks out a privileged account password and selects to log in to the endpoint, a remote management software opens and automatically logs the user in. CA Access Control Enterprise Management controls the remote management programs by using the session recording scripts, based on the endpoint type.

For example, when a user chooses to log into a Windows endpoint, CA Access Control Enterprise Management uses a script that opens the Remote Desktop software to connect to the endpoint.

To record the sessions on the ObserveIT Enterprise application server, you deploy the session recording scripts on the Enterprise Management Server.

To deploy the session recording scripts

  1. From the CA Support web site, download the session recording scripts and save them in a temporary directory.
  2. On the Enterprise Management Server, navigate to the following directory, where JBoss_HOME specifies the directory JBoss is installed:
    JBoss_HOME/server/default/deploy/IdentityMinder.ear/config/sso_scripts
    
  3. Copy the session recording scripts into the sso_scripts directory.

    We recommend that you back up the files in the directory before you overwrite them.

  4. Select to overwrite the existing files with the new files.

You can now configure the connection settings to the ObserveIT Enterprise application server.
