Configure Idira PAM for Arctic Wolf monitoring

You can configure Idira Privileged Access Management（PAM）（旧名 CyberArk Privileged Access Management（PAM））® to send the necessary logs to Arctic Wolf® for security monitoring.

These resources are required:

  • An activated Arctic Wolf Sensor or 仮想ログ収集ツール（vLC）
  • Access to the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） Vault Server as the local administrator
  • Access to the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） Privileged Threat Analytics（PTA） server as the root user

Configure the Vault Server to send syslog records

  1. Sign in to the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） Vault Server as the local administrator.
  2. Navigate to where you installed the server. For example, PrivateArk > Server > Syslog.
  3. Copy the SyslogTranslator.sample.xsl file path to use in a later step.
  4. Navigate to /Server/Conf, and then back up the DBParm.ini file.
  5. Open the DBParm.ini file, and then configure these settings:
    • SyslogTranslatorFile — Enter the file path for SyslogTranslator.sample.xsl from a previous step.
    • SyslogServerPort — Enter 514.
    • SyslogServerIP — Enter the IP address of the Arctic Wolf Sensor or vLC.
    • SyslogServerProtocol — Enter TCP.
    • SyslogMessageCodeFilter — Enter 0-999.
    • UseLegacySyslogFormat — Enter No.
  6. Save the file, and then exit.
  7. Restart the server to apply the configuration changes.
    A message confirms that the configuration changes have been applied.

Configure the PTA server to send syslog records

Configuring the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） PTA to send syslog records is not required. Arctic Wolf recommends completing this step to get the best security value from this integration.

  1. Sign in to the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） PTA server as the root user.
  2. Open the default systemparm.properties file using the DEFAULTPARM command.
  3. Copy the line containing the syslog_outbound field, and then exit the file.
  4. Open the local systemparm.properties file using the LOCALPARM command.
    The file opens in the Vim text editor.
  5. Press i to edit the file.
  6. Paste the line that you copied, and then remove the # to uncomment it.
  7. In the new line, configure these settings:
    • host — Enter the IP address of the Arctic Wolf Sensor or vLC.
    • port — Enter 514.
    • format — Enter CEF.
    • protocol — Enter TCP.
    • siem — Enter Arctic Wolf.
    • SyslogType — Enter RFC5424.
    • tcpOctetCounting — Enter False.
  8. Save the file, and then exit.
  9. Restart the server.
    A message confirms that the configuration changes have been applied.
  10. Sign in to the Idira（旧名 CyberArk） PTA server as the root user, and then run the RUN_DIAGNOSTICS command to confirm the syslog changes.
    Task numbers P046 and P052 should display OK.
