Getting started with the desktop client

To define and enforce security policy for your enterprise, you must first install the desktop client application which gives you access to the Administrative Tools.

These topics explain how to install, start, and uninstall the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client application:

Installing the desktop client

During initial installation and when applying a patch, make sure the desktop client file is the one supplied with the appliance version. If the versions are not compatible, errors will occur.

NOTE: PuTTY is used to launch the SSH client for SSH session requests and is included in the install. The desktop client looks for any user-installed PuTTY in the following locations:

  • Any reference to putty in the PATH environment variable
  • c:/Program Files/Putty
  • c:/Program Files(x86)/Putty
  • c:/Putty

If PuTTY is not found, the desktop client uses the version of PuTTY that it installed at:

<user-home-dir>/AppData/Local/Safeguard/putty.

If the user later installs PuTTY in any of the locations above, the desktop client uses that version which ensures the user has the latest version of PuTTY.
