During Asset Discovery, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically adds the assets that it finds and begins to manage them according to the settings in the asset profile you set on the Rules tab.
Discovery details
- Once Safeguard for Privileged Passwords creates an asset, it will not attempt to re-create it or modify the asset if the asset is rediscovered by a different job.
- Any SSH host keys encountered in discovery will be automatically accepted.
- You can configure multiple rules for an Asset Discovery job. When Safeguard for Privileged Passwords runs the Asset Discovery job, if it finds an asset with more than one rule, it applies the connection and profile settings of the first rule that discovers the asset.
Navigate to:
- web client: Asset Management > Discovery > Assets > (add or edit Asset Discovery job) > New Asset Discovery Job dialog > Asset Discovery Rules tab > (add asset discovery rule) > New Asset Discovery Rule dialog > Management tab
