Please improve your GUI, it's really terrible as it is...
- add users - manually typing them, REALLY ?
- configuring shared keys - finding out what needs to be defined is ridiculous
- remove ANY JAVA dependencies, customers hate it
- make AD RDP integration easier, documentation is telling us something abot using uppercase usernames, DC only for name, ...
Great potential in the product though

I agree with this. GUI needs to be improved drastically. Currently it looks like something from 2005.
Also, writing scripts in Perl? Who knows Perl anymore...
As the OP said - great potential in the product but needs to be revamped in several areas.
New GUI is scheduled to be released in next release of PAM as part of the company initiative to make all interfaces similar to one another. PM will probably flag this idea as planned later on.
+1 to comment on Perl. Worth making a separate idea to create a wrapper supporting other scripting methods.
I will add to what Jean-Paul mentions above and as J.P. mentioned I have updated the Idea to Planned. To provide some context. In the upcoming PAM release (1H CY'18) we will be replacing the "MyAccess" UI. this new UI is built on Angular JS and is fully HTML 5 compliant. So all of the MyAccess functionality will be moved. That will leave the Admin and Reporting UI. We will not complete the full transition of the Admin UI in this release and will complete in the following release. However some of the Admin UI will begin showing up in the new UI. So for one release we wll be between UIs when it comes to PAM. I would love it if you would be so kind as to add to the comments of this ID the top 10 things about the existing UI that really tick you off because as we do the UI transition I would love to capture as many items as we can from our customers and try to make them better in whichever release is appropriate. So please let us know.
Enterprise Credential Vault - make it clearer/easier to correctly define Windows/eDirectory/SSH Account Domains. For adding credentials for Domains use "browse the directory" funcionality, which if working proves the Domain is correctly defined.
Framework User Manager - better use already defined Account Domains for creating users. Again not by manually typing them, but selecting them from the Domain directory, or clicking "Local User/Group" for defining it locally. You already have products (Vibe, Identity Governance) that do that well.
General - do not rely any functionality on client side Java, customers hate it. (in ZEN appliance you have SSH client in the browser)
Thank you for the Idea, and the feedback hear. I am happy to say that we will in fact be addressing the UI in the PAM 3.5 release. In April, we will schedule a pre-release preview webinar for those who have voted for this Idea. I do not have an date yet, but will post to here as soon as we get a date nailed down.
I'm happy to say that we have released PAM 3.5 with the first phase of UI improvements. We did not get as far as we had wanted with the admin console, but the "MyAccess" page and parts of the admin console were addressed. Because we have not fully completed the transition yet, I won't mark this as delivered, but it is well on its way.
I wanted to give everyone an update on this item. The team has made great strides in overhauling the PAM user interface in the 3.6 release. We will be releasing 3.7 very soon and will have more improvements. Thank you for your input and patience.
