It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to add or remove trusted root certificates to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance. If you are going to verify the server certificate, then you do need a certificate from the server certificates chain of trust in Trusted Certificates.

Examples:

  • If you uploaded a syslog client certificate with a private key, you may need to upload the certificate's root CA to the list of trusted certificates. For more information, see Syslog Client Certificate..
  • An SSL/TLS certificate must be trusted to resolve the chain of authority. For an SSL/TSL certificate, when Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to an asset that has the Verify SSL Certificate option enabled, the signing authority of the certificate presented by the asset is compared to the certificates in the trusted certificate store. For more information, see Directory Account, Verify SSL Certificate.
