Safeguard for Privileged Passwords On Demand Hosted

On the Authentication tab, specify the authentication settings for the user. An authentication provider can be the same or different as the user's identity provider.

Use valid combinations of identity and authentication providers. For more information, see Identity and Authentication.

Table 263: User: Authentication tab properties
Property	Description
Authentication Provider	Indicates how this user is to authenticate to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. The options are: Certificate: With a certificate NOTE: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to map a public-key certificate to a user account. You can then use the certificate to make authenticated requests to the appliance by means of the API. For more information, see Using the API. Local: With a user name and password (default) <Directory name>: With directory account credentials (only available if one or more directories have been added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, such as Active Directory or LDAP, and the identity provider of the user is also that directory). <External Federation service provider name>: With the credentials required by the External Federation or Radius server (only available if one or more of those authentication providers have been configured in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords).
If Certificate provider: Certificate, Certificate Thumbprint (SHA-1)	If adding a Certificate user, enter the unique hash value (40 hexadecimal characters) of the certificate. You can copy and paste the Thumbprint value directly from the certificate, including the spaces.
If external federation provider: Email Address or Name Claim	If adding an external federation user account, enter the email address or name claim that will be returned from the STS of an authenticated user. A case-insensitive comparison will be performed on the value when the user is logging in. NOTE: You must configure or ensure that the STS includes either the email address claim or name claim. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will first look for the email address claim in the claims token. If that claim does not exist, it will use the name claim. You must create the user account in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords according to what claim is returned by your STS, with precedence given to the email address claim.
If local or Radius as Primary provider: Login name	If using Local or Radius as Primary for authentication, this is the user's login name. This defaults to the value entered on the Identity tab, Username field. If using directory authentication, the login name is auto-populated.
Set Password button (editing an existing Local provider)	If you are editing an existing user for a Local provider, you may click Set Password to change a user's password. This button is not available when creating a new user or editing a user account from an external identity provider like Microsoft Active Directory.
Password (adding a Local provider)	If adding a Local user, enter a password for the user. You must comply with the password requirements specified in the dialog. For more information, see Local Password Rule.
Require Certificate Authentication (Active Directory provider if provider is MS AD)	Select this check box to require that the user logs into Safeguard for Privileged Passwords using their domain issued user certificate or SmartCard. This option is only available when the Authentication Provider is a Microsoft Active Directory.
Password Never Expires	Select this check box to set a password that does not expire.
User must change password at next login	This check box is only available when using Local for authentication. When selected, this check box requires the user to change their password during their next login.
Require Secondary Authentication	Select this check box to require that this user logs in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords with two-factor authentication. For more information, see Requiring secondary authentication log in. Then choose the Secondary Authentication Provider for this user. Use valid combinations of identity and authentication providers. For more information, see Identity and Authentication.
Login Name (for secondary authentication; not used for FIDO2)	When a directory is selected for secondary authentication, Browse to select the account on the secondary authentication provider this user must use when logging into Safeguard for Privileged Passwords with two-factor authentication. If Radius as a secondary authentication provider is selected, this value is pre-populated with the log in identifier. For more information, see Radius settings. A best practice is to have the users log in to validate the correct user is set up.
Use alternate mobile phone number (if Starling Two-Factor Authentication)	When Starling Two-Factor Authentication is selected, this option is available to enter an alternate Mobile phone number. The Number on file is the mobile phone number specified on the user's Identity tab. NOTE: The Approval Anywhere and one-touch approval features require a valid mobile phone number for the user. If the user does not have their mobile number published in Active Directory, use this option to specify a valid mobile phone number for the user.

Location tab (add user)

Table 264: User: Location tab properties

Because Microsoft Active Directory does not have a Time Zone attribute, when you add a directory group, the default time zone is set for all imported accounts to (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time. To reset the time zone, open each imported account in Users and modify the Time Zone on this Location tab.
