PSM for SSH supports various authentication methods, specifically focusing on secure and verified access mechanisms. The supported methods include:

RADIUS (D): Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting management for users who connect and use a network service. PSM for SSH utilizes RADIUS to authenticate SSH sessions, which adds an additional layer of security by centralizing authentication requests to a RADIUS server.

Client Authentication Certificate (E): This method uses certificates for authentication, where a client presents a certificate that the server verifies against known trusted certificates. This type of authentication is highly secure as it ensures that both parties involved in the communication are precisely who they claim to be, making it suitable for environments that require stringent security measures.

These methods provide robust security options for SSH sessions managed through CyberArk's PSM, ensuring that only authorized users can access critical systems.

CyberArk documents that automatic hardening can be bypassed by setting the Hardening parameter in the PSM for SSH parameters file. The PSM for SSH parameters file used during installation is the psmpparms file (created by copying psmpparms.sample and renaming it to psmpparms).

In CyberArk Privilege Cloud, when connecting to a target server using the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for SSH, the correct syntax for the SSH command includes the following format: ssh neil@linuxuser01#acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145. This syntax breaks down as follows:

neil: The CyberArk username.

linuxuser01#acme.corp: The domain user on the target Linux server, formatted as username#domain.

192.168.1.164: The IP address of the target Linux server.

192.168.65.145: The IP address of the PSM for SSH server.

This specific format ensures that the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager correctly interprets and routes the connection through the PSM for SSH to the intended target server.

For large implementations of CyberArk Privilege Cloud Connectors in AWS and Azure environments, each connector can handle between 31-60 concurrent RDP/SSH sessions. This capacity is specified in the CyberArk documentation concerning Privilege Cloud Connectors and their scalability options. It is designed to support a higher volume of concurrent sessions to meet the needs of larger enterprise environments, ensuring that multiple users can securely access resources without significant performance degradation.

CyberArk’s official connector guidance (CyberArk Identity / Identity Administration—used with Privilege Cloud Shared Services for AD user authentication) says that for trusted domains in a single forest, you use this model when the domain controllers have a two-way, transitive trust relationship with the domain controller the connector is joined to.

It also clarifies that a single connector can be used for the entire domain tree or forest in that trusted-domain model, and authentication requests are handled according to AD trust relationships within the forest/tree.

CyberArk’s Privilege Cloud SAML configuration documentation explicitly states: Privilege Cloud supports only one assertion and instructs you to ensure only one assertion is configured in the IdP.
