Session recording

This guide outlines the configuration required to enable session recording in Devolutions Cloud PAM using Devolutions Gateway. The connection types supported for session recording are RDP, ARD, VNC and SSH.

1. Create an application identity and assign the following permissions to it in Administration – System permissions:

   • View entries
   • Manage privileged access tasks
   • Manage gateways
   • Manage PAM tasks
   • Manage privileged access providers
   • Manage gateways
   • Manage system configuration
   • Manage scheduled reports
2. Download Devolutions Cloud Services, and install it on the gateway.

   Devolutions Cloud Services can be installed on a separate machine that has access to the gateway ports.
3. After reading and accepting the End-user license agreement, check PAM from the Custom setup feature list.
4. Enter your Host URL, as well as the Application secret and Application key you save at the end of step 1. You can then test your connection to see if everything is working properly. Click on Finish.
5. In Devolutions Cloud's web interface, go to Administration – Application services, click the Add button (+), and select PAM service. Give the service a name and choose the application identity created during step #1 in the Application identity dropdown menu.
6. Then, navigate to Administration – System settings and select Enable Devolutions Gateway recording setting.

   
7. Set the Recording property of the relevant entry to Remote by going to Session recording – Recording.

   
8. Verify that the connection works and the session recording is functional. To view the session recording in the web interface of Devolutions Cloud or in a Remote Desktop Manager workspace, navigate to the relevant entry (RDP, for example) and open the Recordings tab.
