User connection setup

In Indeed PAM, RDP and SSH connections are standard. Other connection types, for example, a web session or connection to a DBMS, are configured separately for each target application. Below we will consider examples of configuring a connection to the web console Citrix NetScaler and MS SQL Managemet Studio. After Indeed PAM installation, these types of connections will not be in the list of connections. To create a new connection type, you need to contact Indeed technical support.
