Active sessions

The Active Sessions tab in Monitoring provides a way to oversee activities of launched secrets from FortiPAM. The page lists out all the launched secrets with information such as source IP: Port, destination IP: Port, the application that is launched and username, etc. Additionally, an End Session(s) button is available if the administrator wishes to terminate any of the launched secrets. This monitor is especially powerful in situations where there is malicious activity being conducted by a user because the administrator will be able to terminate the session right away with the End Session(s) button to protect the integrity of the secret.

On the top, the following widgets are displayed:

  • Secret Name: displays the total count of the secrets being used.

  • Username: displays the total count of the users using secrets.

For every session, the following columns are displayed:

  • Session ID

  • Source

  • Source Port

  • Destination
