PAM Integration

Use this category to discuss the doubts and questions about the Jenkins course on KodeKloud

Hello Team,

I’m pretty new to Devops world, would like to understand how Jenkins work from PAM perspective. When I say PAM, it is privileged access management. So, my requirement is to use PAM system to vault all the privileged accounts. Whenever there is a requirement to use a password by Jenkins, it should retrieve it from PAM system. So I would like to know how it works theoretically and from PAM, we do have API endpoints that support the retrieval of passwords of any account which get vaulted within it.

Looking forward to your answers while I just start with the Jenkins course on KodeKloud.

Thank you!
VJ
