No PAM-Section in DVLS

No PAM-Section in DVLS

Hi Support-Team,

I'm struggling with my staging setup.

We have DVLS Platinum and RDM Global so our license should enable PAM.
Our Prod-System and our Test-System (clone of Prod) do have PAM enabled.

For testing purpose of other features I created a new Staging-System with a fresh installation of DVLS using our DVLS-Platinum-License.

But there is no PAM to find in config.
I've done this procedure 2 times following your online help and my setups are always working as expected - except that on fresh installations I get no PAM.

DVLS 2021.2.13.0 Fresh install, no upgraded data.
RDM 2021.2.23.0

Am I missing something?

Hello Markus,

Is the Privileged Access button available in Administration - Server Settings?

If so then you need to check Enable PAM option in Administration - Server Settings - Privileged Access.

If not, then you need a PAM license to enable it. Let us know if it's the case.

Hi Erica,
thank you for your fast response.

That's my problem:
Administration - Server Settings - Privileged Access.

is not available/visible - not there.

It's very strange.

I'll try to set up the server with an old DVLS-Version and see if it works there.

Later today I have a appointment with Richard and I hope to get it working till then....

Hi Markus,

Thank you for your feedback.

Richard will send you a PAM license for you to test it. This license must be added in Administration - Licenses.

Best regards,

Hi Erica,
thank you for contacting Richard, he sent me the PAM-Key, I'll try it.

As for my Tests:

I installed now DVLS 2020.3.22.0 (because this version I had a ZIP-File) and PAM is available there.
After upgrading the instance to DVLS 2021.2.13.0 PAM is gone.

I did a second run, installing DVLS 2020.3.22.0, PAM is available.
This time I activated PAM, saved, upgraded to DVLS 2021.2.13.0.
After that, PAM is still active.

The problem is definitely related to your new DVLS 2021.2.x-Versions or license-check.

Hi Markus,

Thank you for your feedback.

In fact it's an intended behaviour. The DVLS instance needs to respect these 2 conditions to have the PAM module available without the need to add a PAM license in version 2021.2.13.

  1. DVLS license purchased before September 2020.
  2. Have the PAM option already enabled in the older DVLS version (prior to 2021.2.13).


Let me know if you need further information about it.

Best regards,

Hi Erica,

thank you for explaining it to me.

So for next renewal we would have to license DVLS Platinum plus PAM separately?

Hi Markus,

That's right, you will indeed need to get a PAM license with your DVLS license on your license renewal.
