Installing Defender

In order to use strong authentication, you must download and install Safeguard Authentication Services Defender. See the Defender Installation Guide to obtain detailed steps for installing Safeguard Authentication Services Defender.

Note: Defender installation requires a license file. A fully-functional 25-user license for it is included with Safeguard Authentication Services.

The following steps outline the basic procedure for installing Defender. See the

To install Defender

  1. Insert the Safeguard Authentication Services distribution media.

    The Autorun Home page displays.

    Note: If the Autorun Home page does not display, navigate to the root of the distribution media and double-click autorun.exe.

  2. From the Home page, click the Setup tab.
  3. From the Setup tab, click One Identity Defender.

    The One IdentityDefender web page opens.

  4. Click the Download on the left navigation panel.

Change Auditor for Authentication Services integration

Change Auditor for Authentication Services provides auditing, alerting, and change tracking capabilities.

Change Auditor provides the ability to capture Safeguard Authentication Services events for both Active Directory and Group Policy.

Why is auditing, alerting, and change tracking important?

When organizations make the key decision to integrate Unix with Active Directory, they expand Active Directory's scope and strategic importance. As a result, it is critical to provide visibility into the Unix-centric data, which is now managed by Active Directory. Safeguard Authentication Services addresses this challenge by delivering the ability to audit, alert, and show detailed change history of Unix-centric information now managed by Active Directory.

Without these capabilities, Active Directory bridge administrators are blind to any changes made to Unix-centric information managed by Active Directory and may be forced to purchase and implement a third-party solution.

Who needs the Change Auditor functionality in Safeguard Authentication Services?

An organization using the Active Directory Group Policy features of Safeguard Authentication Services to manage Unix systems may have a group policy that grants a Unix system administrator the right to authenticate to every Unix machine. If an administrator edits this group policy and grants additional users the same access, Safeguard Authentication Services now provides immediate visibility into these changes. An alert will be generated and the organization will know who made the change, when, and from where. A detailed history of the policy will also be provided.

To achieve and maintain compliance with regulations and policy, an organization must be able to prove it has control over its Unix-centric data in Active Directory. With Safeguard Authentication Services, an organization will now be alerted to events, such as when Unix systems are joined to Active Directory, when Active Directory users or groups are "Unix enabled," or changes to NIS data stored in Active Directory. This information will be available for audit and will show the change history.

How does Safeguard Authentication Services’ audit capabilities compare to other Active Directory bridge solutions?

The audit, alerting, and change tracking capabilities of Safeguard Authentication Services are unique, and a critical differentiator for One Identity. Only One Identity can offer these benefits as an integrated and included component of its Active Directory bridge solution.

Is there an additional charge for Safeguard Authentication Services 4.x audit capabilities?

There is no additional cost for Safeguard Authentication Services audit, alerting, and change tracking capabilities; they are considered new features and are available to new customers, as well as to existing customers that upgrade as part of their active relationship with One Identity.

How does Safeguard Authentication Services integrate with Change Auditor?

Safeguard Authentication Services includes a special license key for Change Auditor for Authentication Services that unlocks a number of unique, Safeguard Authentication Services-specific events. These Active Directory events can be monitored using the Change Auditor console, as illustrated in the following table.

Table 21: Events for Authentication Services
