One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.0.14 LTS

Archiving transfers data from SPS to an external storage solution, cleanup removes (deletes) old files. Archived data can be accessed and searched, but cannot be restored (moved back) to the SPS appliance. Only those closed audit-trail files are archived where the retention time has already elapsed. To list the available Archive policies, use the following command.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/archive_cleanup_policies/

The following sections detail the properties of Archive/Cleanup policy objects.

Encrypting certificates

Encrypting certificates must not contain any metadata. SPS uses only the key part of the certificate, no other data (expiry, etc.) are relevant for encryption.

To use a certificate with the SPS API, remove all metadata, and substitute line breaks with \n.

The following is an example certificate, as used on the SPS web interface:

The same certificate, as accepted by the SPS API:

"certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----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\nqYyyD1ld89OUEYZ+aJQd/A==\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n"

Real-time content monitoring with Content Policies

You can monitor the traffic of certain connections in real time, and execute various actions if a certain pattern (for example, a particular command or text) appears in the command line or on the screen, or if a window with a particular title appears in a graphical protocol. Since content-monitoring is performed real-time, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can prevent harmful commands from being executed on your servers. SPS can also detect numbers that might be credit card numbers. The patterns to find can be defined as regular expressions. In case of ICA, RDP, and VNC connections, SPS can detect window title content.

The following actions can be performed:

Log the event in the system logs.
Immediately terminate the connection.
Send an e-mail or SNMP alerts about the event.
Store the event in the connection database of SPS.

SPS currently supports content monitoring in SSH session-shell connections, Telnet connections, RDP and Citrix ICA Drawing channels, and in VNC connections.

NOTE:

Command, credit card and window detection algorithms use heuristics. In certain (rare) situations, they might not match the configured content. In such cases, contact our Support Team to help analyze the problem.

Real-time content monitoring in graphical protocols is not supported for Arabic and CJK languages.

To list the available Content policies, use the following command.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/content_policies

The following sections detail the properties of Content policy objects.

Element		Type	Description
name		string	Top level element, the name of the object. This name is also displayed on the SPS web interface. It cannot contain whitespace.
rules		JSON object	Top level element, contains the configuration properties of the object.
	actions	JSON object	The list of actions to perform when the Content policy matches the analyzed traffic. All actions are boolean values (true or false)
	event	JSON object	Specifies the event that triggers an action.
	gateway_groups	list	To apply the Content policy only for users belonging to specific groups, list those groups in the gateway_groups or remote_groups fields. If the gateway_groups or remote_groups field is set, the content policy is applied only to connections of these usergroups. For example: "gateway_groups": ["group1", "group2"],
	remote_groups	list	To apply the Content policy only for users belonging to specific groups, list those groups in the gateway_groups or remote_groups fields. If the gateway_groups or remote_groups field is set, the content policy is applied only to connections of these usergroups. For example: "remote_groups": ["group1", "group3"],

Element

Type

Description

event

JSON object

Specifies the event that triggers an action.

ignore

list

A list of strings or regular expressions. SPS will perform an action if the match expression is found in the connection, unless it is listed in the ignore list. For example:

"ignore": [
"mmc.exe",
"cmd.exe"
                            Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).
The following characters must be escaped using a backslash character: '(single-quote). For example, instead of .*' use .*\'
SPS uses substring search to find the expression in the content. That is, SPS finds the expression even if there is more content before or after the matching part. For example, the conf pattern will match the following texts: conf, configure, reconfigure, arcconf, and so on.
Using complicated regular expressions or using many regular expressions will affect the performance of SPS.
If the multiple expressions are set, SPS processes them one after the other, and stops processing the content if the first match is found, even if other expressions would also match the content. Therefore, when using multiple expressions, start with the most specific one, and add general expressions afterward.

match

list

A list of strings or regular expressions. SPS will perform an action if the match expression is found in the connection, unless it is listed in the ignore list. For example:

"match": [
"mmc.exe",
"cmd.exe"
                            Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).

selection

string

The type of event that you want to monitor.

command: The commands executed in the session-shell channel of SSH connections, or in Telnet connections.

Caution:

During indexing, if a separate certificate is used to encrypt the upstream traffic, command detection works only if the upstream key is accessible on the machine running the indexer.

screen_content: Every text that appears on the screen. For example, every text that is displayed in the terminal of SSH or Telnet connections. This includes the executed commands as well, unless echoing is turned off for the terminal.
creditcard: Process every text that appears on the screen and attempt to detect credit card numbers in SSH or Telnet connections. SPS performs an action if the number of detected credit card numbers exceeds the value set as Permitted number of credit card numbers.

Credit card number detection is based on the Luhn algorithm and lists of known credit card number prefixes.
window_title: Text appearing as window titles in case of RDP, Citrix ICA, and VNC connections. Only Windows Classic Themes are supported. Themes with rounded corners, or Windows Aero themes are not supported.

For example:

"selection": "window_title"
