Adding account dependencies

One or more Windows servers can use a directory account (such as an Active Directory account) to run hosted services and/or tasks. The Asset Administrator can configure a dependency relationship between the directory account and the Windows servers. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords performs dependent system updates to maintain the passwords for dependent accounts on all the systems that use them. For example, when Safeguard for Privileged Passwords changes the directory account password, it updates the credentials on all the Windows server's dependent accounts so that the services or tasks using this account are not interrupted. Also see KB article 312212.

You can manage tasks and services on a domain controller (DC) asset. For more information, see Using a domain controller (DC) asset.

Configuring account dependencies on an asset

  1. Directory accounts:
    1. You must add directory accounts before you can set up account dependency relationships. For more information, see Adding an account.
    2. From the directory account, select the Available for use across all partitions option so it can be used outside its domain partition. For more information, see Adding an account.

  2. Assets: You must add the target directory account as a dependent account for the asset. The service account can be a domain account (to look up domain information) or a local account if the asset is a Windows Server platform. The service account can be a domain or local account if the asset is a Windows Server platform. If the asset is a Windows SSH platform, then the service account must be a domain account in order to update dependent accounts.

    IMPORTANT: For Windows SSH assets, a local account does not have the access necessary to discover services running as domain accounts. So if a local account is used, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will only discover services running as local accounts, and domain account dependencies will not be updated.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
    2. Select a the asset (such as a Windows server) from the object list and open the Account Dependencies tab.
    3. Click Add Account from the details toolbar and select one or more directory accounts. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords only allows you to select directory accounts.

  3. Discovery: To update the asset, you must configure the Account Discovery job for the dependent asset. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Discovery | Account Discovery and select these check boxes:

    • Discover Services
    • Automatically Configure Dependent System.

    For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery job.

  4. Profiles:

    1. The target directory account must be in the same profile as the dependent asset.
    2. You must configure the dependent asset's profile in the Change Password tab to perform the required updates on the asset. For example, select the Update Service on Password Change check box and so on. For more information, see Creating a profile.

Adding an asset to asset groups

Use the Asset Groups tab on the Assets view to add an asset to one or more asset groups.

Only the assets that support session management can be added to asset groups and dynamic asset groups. Assets that do not support session management include but may not be limited to Directory assets. When you create the asset, the Management tab has an Enable Session Request check box if sessions is supported. For more information, see Supported platforms. This section lists SPP and SPS support by platform.

To add an asset to asset groups

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
  2. In Assets, select an asset from the object list and open the Asset Groups tab.
  3. Click Add Asset Group from the details toolbar.
  4. Select one or more asset groups from the list in the Asset Groups dialog and click OK.

If you do not see the asset group you are looking for and have Security Policy Administrator permissions, you can click Create New on the Asset Groups dialog and add the new asset group. Enter the information and click Add Asset Group. For more information on creating asset groups, see Adding an asset group.

Modifying an asset

You can modify an asset.

To modify an asset

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
  2. In Assets, select an asset from the object list.

  3. Select the view of the asset's information you want to modify ( such as General, Accounts, or Account Dependencies, Access Request Policies, Asset Groups, Discovered Services, or History).

    For example:

    • To change an asset's connection information, for example, connection timeout, double-click the Connection information in the General tab or click the  Edit icon. You can also double-click an asset name to open the General settings edit window.

      NOTEs:

      The following notes apply to attempting to change information on the General tab.

      • Profile: You can only edit or remove a Service Account Profile when adding an asset. To update or remove the asset's service account profile, go to Accounts, select the service account, and edit it to update the profile. For more information, see General tab (account).

      • Management tab, Product: Other platform details: Any Other platform type can be changed to different platform type. Conversely, any platform type can be changed to Other, however, any property values specific to the current platform type will be lost. For example, you may want to change an Other Linux operating system to any type of Linux, such as AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris. Then, the specific platform type can be changed back to Other, if needed.

    • To add (or remove) an account to this asset, switch to the Accounts tab.
    • To add (or remove) a directory account to a Windows server as an account dependency, switch to the Account Dependencies tab. For more information, see Adding account dependencies.

  4. To view or export the details of each operation that has affected the selected asset, switch to the History tab. To export, select the time frame then click Export.
