How do I add an external federation provider trust

It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to configure the external federation service providers in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

To add an external federation service provider

  1. Go to Appliance Management > Safeguard Access > Identity and Authentication.
  2. Click Add then select External Federation.
  3. In the External Federation dialog, supply the following information:

    1. Name: Enter a unique display name for the external federation service provider. The name is used for administrative purposes only and will not be seen by end users.

      Limit: 100 characters

    2. Realm: Enter a unique realm value, typically a DNS suffix, like contoso.com, that matches the email addresses of users intended to use this STS for authentication. Values can be separated by a space, comma, or semi-colon. A case-insensitive comparison will be used on the value(s) when performing Home Realm Discovery.

      Limit: 255 characters

    3. Federation Metadata File: Choose or enter the file path to the STS federation metadata file that you previously downloaded.

    4. Download Safeguard Federation Metadata: If you have not done so before, click the link to download a copy of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's federation metadata XML. You will need this file when creating the corresponding trust relationship on your STS server.

      NOTE: The federation metadata XML files typically contain a digital signature and cannot be modified in any way, including white space. If you receive an error regarding a problem with the metadata, ensure that it has not been edited.

    5. Click OK.

How do I create a relying party trust for the STS

The process for creating the relying party trust in your STS (Security Token Service) will differ between applications and services. However, as stated earlier, you can download a copy of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's federation metadata by clicking the link when you entered the STS information in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. You can also download the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords federation metadata at any time using one of the following methods:

  1. Go to Appliance Management > Safeguard Access > Identity and Authentication.
  2. Click Download Safeguard Federation Metadata.
  3. Download the file from the following URL:
https://<Safeguard for Privileged Passwords server>/RSTS/Saml2FedMetadata

If the STS does not support importing federation metadata, but instead requires you to manually input values, you will typically need an App ID and Login or Redirect URL. Both of these values can be copied from the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords federation metadata XML file you downloaded.

  • The App ID for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will come from the entityID attribute of the <EntityDescriptor> element in the XML file.

  • The Login or Redirect URL will come from the Location attribute of the <AssertionConsumerService> element within the <SPSSODescriptor> element.

    NOTE: Only the HTTP-POST binding is supported for this end point.

You must then configure or ensure that the STS returns the authenticated user's email address as a SAML attribute claim. The email address must appear in either the standard SAML email address claim or name claim:

  • http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress
  • http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name

If the emailaddress and name attribute claims are not present in the SAML assertion, the SAML Subject NameID can be used.

NOTE: Any other attributes or claims will be ignored.

The SAML Response or Assertion must be signed, but not encrypted. When the signing certificate used by your STS expires, you must update the metadata in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords by uploading a new copy of your STS's metadata file. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will not automatically attempt to refresh the metadata.

NOTE: Your STS's metadata can contain more than one signing certificate to allow for a grace period between an expiring certificate and a new one.

How do I add an external federation user account

It is the responsibility of either the Authorizer Administrator or the User Administrator to add an associated external federation Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user.

Preparation

You must add external federation service providers to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords before you can add external federation users.

No user information, such as first name, last name, phone number, email address, is ever imported from the STS claims token. You must enter that information manually when creating the user in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords if you need it.

To add a user

  1. Navigate to User Management > Users.
  2. In Users, click New User from the toolbar.

  3. In the User dialog, provide information in each of the tabs:

How do I manage accounts on unsupported platforms

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords makes it possible for you to manage passwords and SSH keys for accounts on unsupported platforms and not addressed by a Custom platforms.

You will use a profile with a manual change password or an SSH key setting.

For example, you may have an asset that is not on the network. The manual change password or SSH key setting allows you to comply with your company policies to change account passwords on a regular schedule without using the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatic change password or SSH key settings. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords notifies you by email, toast notification, or both on a set schedule to change account passwords manually. You can then reset the password or SSH key yourself, or allow Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to generate a random password or SSH key according to the password rule selected in the profile.

IMPORTANT: After you change the password or SSH key in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords you must remember to change the password or SSH key on the account; Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not do that automatically for you.

The following summarizes the general workflow for managing accounts on unsupported platforms.

To manage account passwords or SSH key manually

  1. Configure a profile with a manual change password or SSH key setting and assign asset accounts to it. See: Adding change password settings and Adding SSH key change settings.
  2. Ensure toast notifications or email notifications are properly configured. For more information, see Enabling email notifications.
  3. When notified to change an account password or SSH key, choose:
