One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 6.0 LTS - Evaluation Guide

Creating authorizor admin and local admin users

Once you have successfully installed the desktop client application, you must add the objects you need to write access request policies, such as users, accounts, and assets. If your company practices the principles of separation of duties (SoD), the Authorizer Administrator needs to create the following additional administrators.

NOTE: A user can be assigned more than one set of permissions.

To add local administrator users

  1. Log in to the Windows desktop client application as the Bootstrap Administrator.
  2. From the Home page, navigate to Administrative Tools and select Users.
  3. Add the following additional local administrator users.

    IMPORTANT: After creating, log out as the Bootstrap Administrator and log in as the Authorizer Administrator. It is recommended you disable the Bootstrap Administrator for security purposes.

Joining Starling

One Identity Starling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that provides two-factor authentication on a product, enabling organizations to quickly and easily verify a user's identity. This service is provided as part of the One Identity Starling cloud platform. In addition Starling offers a hybrid service, One Identity Hybrid, that allows you to take advantage of companion features from multiple Starling services, such as Starling Two-Factor Authentication.

Joining Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling adds Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to the One Identity Hybrid service allowing you to use features from both the Starling Two-Factor Authentication.

Once Safeguard for Privileged Passwords is joined to Starling, the following Safeguard for Privileged Passwords features are enabled and can be implemented using Starling Two-Factor Authentication:

  • Secondary authentication

    Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports two-factor authentication by configuring authentication providers, such as Starling Two-Factor Authentication, which are used to configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's authentication process such that it prompts for two sources of authentication when users log in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

    A Starling 2FA service provider is automatically added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling. As an Authorizer or User Administrator, you must configure users to use Starling 2FA as their secondary authentication provider when logging in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

  • Approval Anywhere

    The Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Approval Anywhere feature integrates its access request workflow with Starling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), allowing approvers to receive a notification through an app on their mobile device when an access request is submitted. The approver can then approve (or deny) access requests through their mobile device without needing access to the desktop or web application.

    Approval Anywhere is enabled when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to One Identity Starling. As a Security Policy Administrator, you must define the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users authorized to use Approval Anywhere.

Later in the guide, we will step through the process of configuring a user to require two-factor authentication as well as logging in with two-factor authentication. We will also discuss how to define the users who are authorized to use Approval Anywhere to approve access requests.
