How to generate Approval Report (RequestResponse) for Application connections in BT PAM

Question

Hi All,My organisation has auditing requirement to review who approved what session request for certain applications. Now - Using the Activity Report in Analytics and Report, I have managed to generate the reports who approved session for RDP and SSH connections but I am unable to generate the same for application connections. Now this is mainly because as per my understanding you cannot classify an application connector as asset or an asset smart group hence I am not able to generate this report. I am looking for any guidance on how to generate application connector’s session approval request or alternatively how I can classify application connector as an asset smart group for report generation Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi Kdogra1,You can partly achieve this by creating an Asset Smart Group that targets all RDSH servers that host the applications and use that in the Password and Session Activity report. This is fine as long as you have dedicated RDSH servers for applications but less so if the servers also host full desktop sessions.What this still wont do, however, is tell you which application was used.You could set the access policy to require a reason. Users could be educated to type the application name and requestors only approve when they see the reason matches the application being requested. This way the application will appear in the reason field of the report.Not ideal, so feel free to add an idea to the ideas portal.
