The Privileged Application Launcher (PAL) is a local Windows desktop application that enables users to temporarily check-out vaulted Active Directory credentials and launch Windows applications as the check-out identity. PAL acts much like the Runas command but without requiring the user to be granted knowledge of the privileged user password.PAL operates using Windows security so it is limited by Windows domain and trust restrictions.
For help in creating a Master password, see Creating a Secret. |
Employees install the Privileged Application Launcher on their local machines.
On the Ready to install page, click Install.
Since this must be installed as an administrator, a message flashes on your taskbar. Click it to open the User Account Control requesting permission to make changes on your device. Click Yes to continue. |
Once the Privileged Application Launcher has been successfully installed on a machine, users can launch it to access any privileged applications for which they have access. See Using Privileged Application Launcher for details.
