Discovery

Discovery in Secrets displays a list of configured discovery entries.

Discovery is the process where FortiPAM scans an environment to find accounts and other associated resources. Once the accounts and the resources are found, they can be automatically imported to FortiPAM for centralized management.

Discovery helps provide a better overview of the existing accounts in an Active Directory. The automatic import feature saves time.

Users with the Secret Discovery permission for their role are able to see the Discovery tab in Secrets. See Role.

Do not use the CLI console to configure discovery.

The following columns are available in the Discovery tab:

• Name

• Discovery Secret

• Discovered

• Periodic Scanning

The Discovery tab contains the following options:

Create	Select to create a new discovery entry. See Creating discovery entry.

Edit	Select to edit the selected discovery entry.
