CyberArk with AutoIT (Develop Custom universal connector) – FileZilla as an example

Example:

FileZilla – sFTP -> Linux Server 10.0.0.20 (root/CyberArk1)

Steps

1 Install AutoIT and Client Application

Download and install AutoIt3 on the development machine to develop PSM universal connector components. By default, AutoIt3 is installed in the following location on your computer: %ProgramFiles%\AutoIt3.

When using Autoit based connection components, we recommend that you compile the Autoit script to an executable form and use that binary. Running AutoIt scripts directly using AutoIt3.exe might introduce security risks.

version 3.3.14.2

SciTE Editor is the main script editor.

• autocomplete the command
• point to the required parameter 
• F1 for help
• F5 to run or Tools – go
• Finder tool icon to identify the elements
