# Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt install ./pam-zta-gateway_0.1.0_amd64.deb # RHEL/Rocky sudo yum install ./pam-zta-gateway-0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm # 1) Requires PostgreSQL (create an empty DB + user) # 2) Edit /etc/pam-zta/gateway.toml — DSN, [ca].token (openssl rand -hex 32), public_url/TLS sudo systemctl enable --now pam-zta-gateway sudo journalctl -u pam-zta-gateway -f # watch for the root-onboarding QR

macos & ios — apps

# macOS — CA Signer (.dmg) Open the .dmg ▸ drag "PAM-ZTA CA" to Applications ▸ open ▸ plug YubiKey ▸ enter PIN (PIV 9c) ▸ "Save PIN to Keychain". # macOS — OSH Client (.pkg · all-in-one: GUI app + `osh` command) Double-click OSH-1.0.0-arm64.pkg ▸ Install. # notarized · installs the OSH app + the `osh` CLI into PATH osh connect dev@your-server # or open the OSH app and click Connect · (new terminal: run `rehash`) # iOS (OSH Approver) 1. Install TestFlight from the App Store. 2. Open the TestFlight link above ▸ Install OSH. 3. Open OSH ▸ scan the enrollment QR from the Gateway ▸ approve with Face ID.

🔐CA Signer requires a YubiKey (hardware-only, fail-closed). Pull the YubiKey and signing stops — exactly by zero-trust design.
