Open multiple Sessions with Same PAM Account
0 vote
We leverage "My Account Settings --> My Privileged Account" feature with "Always Prompt" enabled since we use daily different Tier'd accounts for access to Servers vs Desktops. Is there and if not add a way to open many sessions with the same PAM credential and not be prompted repeatedly for a credential. I tried using "Playlists" but it prompts for each entry. It could be something as simple as a checkbox "Use this account for multiple connections" We have Admins that open many sessions to do complete tasks like manual patching

Hello,
Thank you for your request. I'm not sure to understand completely your request. My question would be the following: If you use it with "Always prompt", how would you expect the system to know if it is time to prompt again or reuse an account ? I understand your suggestion to have a check box "Use this account for multiple connections", but after a few connections, I guess you expect to be prompted to use another one ? I'm not sure how the flow would work in a such situation. Could you explain a bit more ? Thanks in advance

We have many different accounts for many different zones that we are prompting, hence our need for the pictured accounts above. However, we also open many sessions with teh same account. If I try to open 5 sessions I am prompted for the the account to use each time.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer. If I understand correctly, in your example where you open 5 sessions, you would like to reuse the same account for the 5 sessions since you open them in a short period of time. If you want to open another session a few minutes later, you would expect to get prompted again, am I right ?

Yes, in my case, much like my compatriots, open many servers for daily work, maintenance etc. We we do so we would like to have the ability to use the same account during that operation once. Hence my screen shot as an example to open all with that one credential.
