This course provides a clear understanding of Privileged Access Management (PAM) and how they manage authentication in modern systems. You will learn how Linux-PAM works behind the scenes to control user access and enforce security policies across applications and services.

Starting with the basics, the course explains the structure of PAM modules, configuration files, and the different types of management groups such as authentication, account, password, and session. You’ll also explore how modules interact, how to configure them for various use cases, and how to troubleshoot common issues.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of PAM architecture and the ability to configure and manage authentication workflows securely in Linux-based systems.
