Creating local users in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)

This section describes how to create local users.

NOTE: The admin user is available by default, and has all possible privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.

Local users cannot be managed when LDAP authentication is used (see Managing One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users from an LDAP database). If LDAP authentication is enabled, the accounts of local users are disabled, they are not displayed on the Users & Access Control > Local Users page, but they are not deleted either.

When using RADIUS authentication together with local users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed locally on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). For details, see Authenticating users to a RADIUS server.

To create a local user

  1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Local Users and click .

    Figure 82: Users & Access Control > Local Users — Creating local users

  2. Enter the username in the User field.

    NOTE: For the username of SSH users, only valid UTF-8 strings are allowed.

    The following characters cannot be used in usernames: <>\/[]:;|=,+*?

  3. Enter a password for the user in the Password and Verify password fields.

    The strength of the password is indicated below the Password field, as you type. To set a policy for password strength, see Setting password policies for local users. The user can change the password later from the SPS web interface, and you can modify the password of the user here.

    Use strong passwords: at least 8 characters that include numbers, letters, special characters, and capital letters. For local One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users, require the use of strong passwords (set Users & Access Control > Login options > Minimal password strength to strong). For more information, see "Setting password policies for local users" in the Administration Guide.

    NOTE: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters and supports the following characters:

    • Letters A-Z, a-z

    • Numbers 0-9

    • The space character

    • Special characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<>=?@[]\^-`{}_|

    NOTE: If possible, use a random password generator.

    To create a strong password:

    • Use special characters

    • Use long passwords

    • Mix uppercase and lowercase letters

    For strong passwords, do not use:

    • Personal information in the passwords

    • Sequential letters or numbers

    • The word password as the password

    • Keyboard paths (for example, qwerty)

  4. Click in the Groups section and select a group that the user will be a member of. Repeat this step to add the user to multiple groups.

    You can also modify the group membership of local users here.

    To remove a user from a group, click next to the group.

  5. To save the modifications, click Commit.

Deleting local users from One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)

This section describes how to delete local users from One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).

To delete a local user from SPS

  1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Local Users.

  2. Find the user you want to delete.

  3. Click next to the user, at the right edge of the screen.

  4. To save your modifications, click Commit.

Setting password policies for local users

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can use password policies to enforce the use of:

  • Password history

  • Password strength

  • Password length

  • Password expiry

  • Cracklib protection

Limitations

Consider the following limitations when configuring password policies:

  • Password policies apply only to locally managed users.

  • Password policies do not apply to users managed from an LDAP database, or authenticated to a RADIUS server.

NOTE: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters and supports the following characters:

  • Letters A-Z, a-z

  • Numbers 0-9

  • The space character

  • Special characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<>=?@[]\^-`{}_|

To edit a password policy

  1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Login options.

  2. Under Login Options, select the Built-in Local login method and click Edit.

    NOTE: Only the local users are affected by the password policy. The password rules of LDAP and RADIUS authentication are not managed by SPS.

    Figure 83: Users & Access Control > Login options — Configuring password policies

  3. (Optional) To do a basic dictionary check on passwords, enable Cracklib protection.

  4. In the Expire after text box, configure the validity period of passwords (in days). Once the configured period expires, SPS users must change their passwords. The value range is 1-365. You can also disable the password expiration.

  5. Reject reusing previous passwords: use this option to prevent using the same password again for the configured number of password changes. For example, if the value is set to 10, the users must use 10 different passwords consecutively, until the first password can be used again. The acceptable values are 1-30. To disable this option, select Enable reusing passwords.

  6. Set the required password complexity level in Password strength. The available values are disabled, good, and strong.

    NOTE: The strength of a password is determined by its length and complexity: the variety of numbers, letters, capital letters, and special characters used.

    To run simple dictionary-based attacks to find weak passwords, enable Cracklib (eg. dictionary) protection.

  7. In Password length, set the minimum number of characters for the passwords. The acceptable values are 1-99.

  8. In the Script reference text box, specify a unique, human readable ID for referencing the configured settings in scripts (for example, to enable the REST API clients to select the login method).

  9. To save your modifications, click Commit.

    NOTE: The changes you make in the password policy do not affect existing passwords. However, configuring password expiration will require every user to change their password after the expiration date. Also, new passwords must comply with the current password strength settings.

Managing local user groups

You can use local groups to control the privileges of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) local users — who can view and configure what.

For the description of built-in groups, see Built-in usergroups of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).

Use Users & Access Control > Local User Groups to:

  • Create a new user group.

  • Display which users belong to a particular local user group.

  • Edit group membership.

To create a new user group

  1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Local User Groups and click .

    Figure 84: Users & Access Control > Local User Groups — Group management

  2. Enter a name for the group.

  3. Enter the names of the users belonging to the group. Click to add more users.

  4. To save your modifications, click Commit.

    Once you have added your user groups, the next step is to start assigning privileges to them. For more information, see Assigning privileges to user groups for the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) web interface.
