Acquiring Keycyte PAM

To install Keycyte PAM, you first need to obtain the OVF (Open Virtualization Format) template file provided by our technical team. This template contains a pre-configured virtual machine image for Keycyte PAM to run with optimal performance.

Obtaining the OVF Template​

The first step in Keycyte PAM installation is to acquire the OVF template file from our technical support team. This file can be obtained through the following methods:

Communication Channels​

  • Email: info@keycyte.com
  • Phone: +90 (312) 906 0472
  • Ticket System: Keycyte Helpdesk Portal

When requesting the template, sharing the following information with our team will help expedite the process:

  • Installation environment information (Production/Test/Development)
  • Virtualization platform (VMware vSphere/Hyper-V/KVM)
  • Expected user capacity
  • License type and duration

Template Download Process​

Since the OVF template file is approximately 4-6 GB in size, downloading over a stable internet connection is recommended. After the download is complete, verifying file integrity is critically important.

File Verification​

To check the integrity of the template file:

# MD5 checksum check
md5sum keycyte-pam-template.ovf

# SHA256 checksum check  
sha256sum keycyte-pam-template.ovf

The checksum values of your file must match the checksum values you will receive from our team.

System Requirements Check​

Before downloading the template, ensure that your target environment meets the system requirements:

  • Minimum: 8 Core CPU, 16 GB RAM
  • Storage: 100 GB system disk + 500 GB data storage
  • Operating System: Debian 12 (Bookworm) support
  • Virtualization: VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or KVM

Template Formats​

The following template formats are provided for different virtualization platforms:

VMware vSphere​

  • Format: OVF/OVA
  • Supported Versions: vSphere 6.5 and above
  • vCPU: 8 Core (configurable)
  • vRAM: 16 GB (configurable)

Microsoft Hyper-V​

  • Format: VHD/VHDX
  • Supported Versions: Hyper-V 2016 and above
  • Generation: 2 (UEFI support)

KVM/Proxmox​

  • Format: QCOW2
  • Supported Versions: QEMU 2.5 and above
  • Disk Interface: VirtIO (recommended for performance)

Security Considerations​

Secure storage and transfer of template files is critically important:

  • Store template files in a secure location
  • Set appropriate file permissions to prevent unauthorized access
  • Securely destroy template files after installation
  • Use encrypted storage if creating backup copies

Next Steps​

After completing the template download process:

  1. Proceed to the Component Configuration section to begin the installation process
  2. Import the template to your chosen virtualization platform
  3. Plan the network configuration
  4. Complete the pre-installation checklist

The installation process takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete, and the system automatically proceeds to the configuration phase.
