PEM Server Logon v9
The PEM web interface uses Apache to connect to the PEM server on port 8080 of the IP address on which the PEM server is installed. To connect to PEM, open your browser of choice, and navigate to:
<ip_address_of_PEM_host>:8080/pem
Where ip_address_of_PEM_host
specifies the IP address of the host of the PEM server.
If the PEM Server is using the Kerberos Authentication
, you will be directly connected to the PEM interface without having to login.
Use the fields on the Login window to authenticate yourself with the PEM server:
Provide the name of a
pem
database user in theUsername
field. Users logon to PEM using user credentials setup aslogin roles
on the PostgreSQL database used by the PEM server. By default, thepostgres
superuser account will be used for the initial logon.We strongly recommend you create an individual role for each user. You can create a login role with the
CREATE ROLE
SQL statement, or by defining a role with the PEM clientCreate - Login/Group Role
dialog. To access the dialog, connect to the PEM server database; right-click theLogin/Group Roles
node in the tree control, and selectNew Login Role...
from theCreate
pull-aside menu. Roles must be granted permissions and role memberships to properly use PEM:- users that are members of the
pem_user
role are essentiallyread-only
users; they may view dashboards, change the database server connection options, but they will not be able to install agents or configure the server directory, alerts, probes, or run any of the wizard/dialog based components of PEM. - users that are members of the
pem_admin
role have the same read permissions as members of the pem_user role, plus sufficient privileges to configure the servers, directory, alerts and probes. administrative
users must be added to the pem_admin role and explicitly granted the create role privilege. in addition to the permissions granted through membership in the pem_admin role, the create role privilege allows an administrator to create additional pem users, and to install and register new agents.- users can be member of one of the PEM roles to give right to run a particular component, to manage, or to configure PEM.
- users that are members of the
Provide the password associated with the user in the
Password
field.
Note
From PEM 8.2 onwards, the Two-Factor Authentication support is added. For more information see PEM Installation docs
on EDB Doc Website.
After providing your credentials, click Login
