How to Install Connectors

This article explains how to install connectors on the Vault One platform.

Vault One is a hybrid software. This means that part of its functions works in the cloud and the other part in the company's infrastructure. Therefore, in order for the Vault One to function properly, it is necessary to install connectors. They will play three important roles: 

1. Serve as an access proxy;
2. Record videos (available if contracted)
3. Password backup

Connectors can be installed only by the platform administrator. If you are that person and need to install a new connector, follow the instructions below:

STEP 1 - REGISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION

Access administration menu. Then select Connectors, in the upper right corner, click on Add Connector:

At this point, there are two options:
The first is to copy the command line and paste it into a Linux Machine's shell:
