How do I manage accounts on unsupported platforms

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

You will use a profile with a manual change password setting.

For example, you may have an asset that is not on the network. The manual change password 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 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 yourself, or allow Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to generate a random password according to the password rule selected in the profile.

IMPORTANT: After you change the password in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords you must remember to change the password 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 manually

  1. Configure a profile with a manual change password setting and assign asset accounts to it. For more information, see Adding change password settings.
  2. Ensure toast notifications or email notifications are properly configured. For more information, see Settings (desktop client) or Enabling email notifications.
  3. When notified to change an account password, choose the Set Password option you prefer:
    1. Generate Password: To have Safeguard for Privileged Passwords generate a new random password , that complies with the password rule that is set in the account's profile.
      1. Click Generate Password to display the Password Change dialog.
      2. Click Show Password to reveal the new password.

      3. Click  Copy to place the value into your copy buffer.

        • Log in to your device, using the old password, and change it to the value in your copy buffer.
      4. Click Success to change the password in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords database.
    2. Manual Password: To manually set the account password in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords database.
      1. Click Manual Password to display the Set Password dialog.
      2. Enter and save a new password.

        OK updates the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords database.

How do I prevent Safeguard for Privileged Passwords messages when making RDP connections

When making an RDP connection, you may encounter two different certificate messages.

  • Unsigned RDP file message

    This message occurs when Remote Desktop Connection opens the RDP file that is downloaded when you click Play in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user interface.

    We are currently working on a solution that will allow Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to sign this RDP file to avoid this message.

  • Untrusted server certification message

    This message occurs when the workstation has not trusted the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords RDP Connection Signing Certificate.

    NOTE: The IP address of the connecting server is that of the Safeguard appliance.

    To avoid this message, you must trust the RDP Connection Signing Certificate and certificates in its chain of trust or replace the current certificate with an enterprise certificate and chain of trust that is trusted.

    One Identity recommends that you replace the entire configuration with your own trusted enterprise PKI. This would result in a structure such as:

    • Your Root CA
      • Your Issuing CA
        • Your RDP Signing Certificate (from Safeguard CSR)
          • <Sessions module generated certificate>

    The Root CA, Issuing CA, and RDP Signing Certificates can be distributed via Group Policy, Active Directory, or other distribution means.

How do I set up telnet and TN3270/TN5250 session access requests

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) supports session access requests with mainframes using software terminal emulation including telnet and TN3270/TN5250 over telnet. Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) version 6.1 or higher is used for session recording.

Actions

  • Security officers can record activities of administrators who maintain critical systems running on IBM iSeries and mainframe computers.
  • Asset Administrators can:
    • Customize the TN3270/TN5250 login screen field detection to work for the Safeguard custom login setup.
    • Mark an asset as supporting telnet sessions and specify if the asset is available.
  • Security Policy Administrators can create an entitlement with an access policy that includes session access using telnet and TN3270/TN5250 sessions over telnet.
  • Requesters' log in experience follows the regular client telnet or TN3270/TN5250 interface even when the session is being recorded. Sessions are not launched from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords and all required log in information is available through Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

Steps for sessions access requests using telnet and TN3270/TN5250 over telnet

IMPORTANT: Assistance with One Identity Professional Services is required for help with configurations and installation including available plug-ins, policy creation, pattern files, shortcuts, and best practices.

SPS set up steps

Complete the following set up steps in Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). For operation details, see the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide.

  • Import the necessary plug-in to supply authentication and authorization (AA) and credential store (credstore) information to authenticate with and pull the credentials from SPP. The plug-in file and instructions are available at the Safeguard Custom Platform Home wiki on GitHub.
  • Create and assign Pattern Sets that use pattern files specific to the log in experience for each connection. A pattern file describes the log in experience for a specific system. The pattern file may include the on-screen location of the user name, password field location, login result, descriptions, states, and other required detail. Because log in experiences vary from mainframe to mainframe, custom pattern files must be created, uploaded, and referenced by the system-related connection policy. Template pattern files and instructions are available at the Safeguard Custom Platform Home wiki on GitHub.

 

 

CAUTION: Template pattern files are provided for information only. Customized telnet and TN3270/TN5250 pattern files need to be created. Updates, error checking, and testing are required before using them in production.

  • Specify each Authentication Policy and list the authentication methods that can be used in a connection.
  • Create and configure each Connection Policy. Multiple connection policies are typically required because of the uniqueness of each system log on experience and related pattern file as well as the fact that inband destinations are not used for TN3270/TN5250 over telnet.
    For example, telnet can be used for inband destinations. However, inband destinations are not used for TN3270/TN5250 over telnet. Instead, a fixed address including the port and server can be identified which results in the need for a different connection policy for each mainframe. A fixed address in SPS includes the port used; the SPP asset port is not used in the connection but is usually the same.
  • Export a configuration file, if desired.
  • Configure basic settings for the SSH server, cluster interface, and cluster management.
SPP set up steps

Complete the following set up steps in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP).

  • The Asset Administrator adds the mainframe asset including the Telnet Session Port that is identified on the Administrative Tools | Asset | Management tab. For more information, see Adding an asset.
  • The Security Policy Administrator sets the Access Type (Telnet) on the Administrative Tools | Entitlements | Access Request Policies tab.
SPP requester steps

In SPP after all configuration is complete, the requester proceeds based on the terminal service application in use.

  • For a terminal service application that uses an inband connection string (like telnet), click  Copy to copy the Hostname Connection string and check out the password. Then, paste the information in the log in screen.
  • If the terminal service application requires more information for log in (for example, TN3270/TN5250 over telnet):
    • Click Show to display values that may include Vault Address (the SPP address), a one-time Token, Username, Asset, and Sessions Module (the SPS address).
    • Click  Copy by any of the values to copy a single value. Or, you can click  Copy at the right of all values to copy the entire the connection string, if that is required by your terminal service application.
    • Paste the necessary information into your terminal service application.
  • Click  Check-In to complete the password check out process. This makes the session request available to reviewers.
  • Click Hide to conceal the information from view.

NOTE: The user would copy an entire connection string if, for example, you have a launcher to take the connection string and launch the profile of the terminal service application.
