Updates

It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to update or upgrade One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords by installing an update file to modify the software or configuration of the running appliance. See the Download Software page for available SPP releases and version patches.

Clustered environment

Apply the patch so all appliances in the cluster are on the same version. The procedure for patching cluster members depends on the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords version you are currently running.

  • If you are running Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 2.0.1.x or earlier, you must unjoin replica appliances, install the patch on each appliance, and then enroll the replica appliances to rebuild your cluster. For more information, see Patching cluster members in the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 2.0 Administration Guide.
  • If you are running Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 2.1.x or 2.2.x, you can use the enhanced cluster patching feature where unjoining replica appliances is no longer required. For more information, see Patching cluster members.

Creating a custom platform script

A custom platform script identifies the platform's commands and associated details. Scripts are written in JSON. Scripts include metadata, parameters, function blocks, operations, and if/then constructs to authenticate to the platform and perform password validation and reset. The custom platform script is uploaded when adding the custom platform.

An Asset Administrator can create an asset and accept default values in the associated custom script. If you later upload a new version of the custom platform script with different defaults, the asset defaults are not changed.

A delegated administrator cannot create a custom platform script.

Sample scripts

Sample custom platform scripts and command details are available at the following links available from the on GitHub:

CAUTION: Example scripts are provided for information only. Updates, error checking, and testing are required before using them in production. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords checks to ensure the values match the type of the property that include a string, boolean, integer, or password (which is called secret in the API scripts). Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cannot check the validity or system impact of values entered for custom platforms.

During development, check your JSON using a validator.
