It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add SSH key profiles to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
To add an SSH key profile
Name: Enter a unique name for the partition. Limit: 50 characters.
Description: (Optional) Enter information about this partition. Limit: 255 characters.
Select a partition for the SSH key profile using the Browse button.
On the Check SSH Key tab, select a previously defined check SSH Key setting from the drop-down menu or click Add to add a new check SSH Key setting. For more information, see Check SSH Key settings.
On the Change SSH Key tab, select a previously defined change SSH Key setting from the drop-down menu or click Add to add a new change SSH Key setting. For more information, see Change SSH Key settings.
On the Discover SSH Key tab, select a previously defined discover SSH Key setting from the drop-down menu or click Add to add a new discover SSH Key setting. For more information, see Discover SSH Key settings.
Click OK to save the SSH key profile.
Once saved you can edit the profile to add SSH key sync groups to your SSH key profile. For more information, see SSH Key Sync Groups settings.
SSH authorization keys are managed to maximize security over automated processes as well as sign-on by system administrators, power users, and others who use SSH keys for access. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) performs the following.
NOTE:Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not currently manage the options for an authorized key. If an imported key has any options configured in the authorized keys file on the asset, these options will not be preserved when the key is rotated by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
SSH implementations supported include:
SPP supports RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA, and DSA algorithms for SSH identity keys. Supported key lengths follow:
SPP reads each line when parsing an authorized_keys file and attempts to extract the data. If a line is properly formatted according to the specification, SPP will report it as a discovered identity key. SPP recognizes keys with either the RSA or DSA algorithm. Other valid key types are still discovered by SPP and are identified as the Key Type of Unknown on the Discovered SSH Keys properties grid.
It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to manage the access request and SSH key passphrase management services.
SSH key change, check, and discovery can be toggled on or off. For more information, see Enable or Disable Services.
Navigate to Asset Management > Profiles > SSH Key Profiles.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Change SSH Key settings | You can add, update, schedule, or remove SSH Key Change settings. |
Check SSH Key settings | You can add, update, schedule, or remove SSH Key Check settings. |
You can add, update, schedule, or remove SSH Key Discovery jobs. | |
SSH Key Sync Groups settings |
You can add, update, schedule, or remove SSH Key Sync Group settings. The Asset Administrator or a partition's delegated administrator defines the SSH key sync group for an SSH key pair. The new key is generated for the sync group and configured for each of the synced accounts on the target host. All accounts in the SSH key sync group synchronize so the same key can be used to log into all systems. |
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords requests and rotates SSH keys based on the access request policy (SSH key or SSH session requests) as well as via A2A configurations set up to request and retrieve SSH keys. Rotation is profile-based. Each managed account can have a single managed SSH key.
SSH key check can be toggled on or off. For more information, see Enable or Disable Services.
Navigate to Asset Management > Profiles > View SSH Key Profiles > Check SSH Key.
