SMTP Certificate

Initially, the default self-signed SMTP client certificate used is listed and assigned to the appliance. This default certificate is not a trusted certificate and should be replaced.

Considerations:

  • The remote certificate must have a valid CN and/or DNS SAN and it must publish a CRL if the following is true:
    • TLS (STARTTLS or SMTPS) is used with SMTP
    • Verify SMTP Server Certificate is selected on Settings | External Integration | Email.
  • Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports cipher suites for SMTP TLS in both the default mode and the TLS 1.2 mode. For more information, see Cipher support.

  • If a managed domain account is being used for SMTP user authentication, the remote SMTP server must accept the username in the form user@domain.

Go to SMTP Certificate:

  • web client: Navigate to Certificates | SMTP Certificate.
  • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | SMTP Certificate.

The SMTP Certificate pane displays the following information for the SMTP client certificates stored in the database.

Table 192: SSL Certificates: Properties
Property Description
Refresh

Update the list of SMTP client certificates available (uploaded to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords).

Subject

The name of the subject (such as user, program, computer, service, or other entity) assigned to the certificate when it was requested.

Thumbprint

A unique hash value that identifies the SMTP client certificate.

Add Certificate

Click Add Certificate and select one of the following options to replace the default SMTP client certificate with a new certificate:

  • Install Certificate generated from CSR
  • Install Certificate with Private Key
  • Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

Default

Click to return to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords default SMTP client certificate.

Creating an SMTP Certificate Signing Request

If you do not want to use a default SMTP client certificate provided with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, you can enroll a certificate using a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to replace the default SMTP client certificate. You can return to the default certificate later.

To create a CSR for a SMTP certificate

  1.  Go to SMTP Certificate:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | SMTP Certificate.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | SMTP Certificate. The SMTP Certificate pane displays the following information for the SMTP certificates stored in the database.
  2. Click the Add Certificate button for the certificate to be replaced and select Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
  3. In the Certificate Signing Request dialog, enter the following information:

    1. Subject (Distinguished Name): Enter the distinguished name of the person or entity to whom the certificate is being issued in the proper format like: cn=common name,ou=organizational unit,o=organization. Using the format example, cn=sam doe,ou=marketing,o=mycompany. Maximum length is 500 characters.

      • Click Use Distinguished Name Creator to create the distinguished name based on your entries in Fully Qualified Domain Name (required), Department, Organization, City/Locality, State/County/Region, and Country.
    2. Subject Alternate Names (DNS): Optionally, enter the Data Source Name (DNS) name of the server that will be protected by this certificate. For example, this might be the DNS names of all of the appliances in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster.
      If the DNS name changes, you must generate a new certificate.
    3. Subject Alternate Names (IP Address): Optionally, enter the IP addresses of the server that will be protected by this certificate. For example, this might be the IP addresses of all the appliances in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster.
      If the IP address changes, you must generate a new certificate.

    4. Key Size: Select the bit length of the private key pair. The bit length determines the security level of the SSL certificate. A larger key size is more secure but encryption is slower.

      • 1024
      • 2048 (default)

      • 4096

  4. Click OK then Save to save your selections and enroll the certificate. The certificate is listed in the SMTP Certificates pane.

Installing an SMTP certificate

It is recommended that you not use the default SMTP client certificate provided with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

To replace the default SMTP client certificate with your own, the certificate must have the following:

  • Enhanced Key Usage extension with the Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1) OID value.
  • Digital Signature key Usage extension with the Server Authentication (2.5.29.37.3) OID value.

CSRs may be installed in the following formats.

  • Install Certificate generated from CSR including:
    • DER Encoded Files (.cer, .crt, or .der)
    • PEM Encoded Files (.pem)
  • Install Certificate with Private Key including:
    • PKCS#12 (.p12 or .pfx)
    • Personal Information Exchange Files (.pfx)

To install a SMTP signing certificate

  1.  Go to SMTP Certificate:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | SMTP Certificate.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | SMTP Certificate.

    The SMTP Certificate pane displays the following information for the SMTP certificates stored in the database.

  2. Click the Add Certificate button for the SMTP certificate to be replaced. Select the appropriate option:

    • Install Certificate generated from CSR
    • Install Certificate with Private Key
  3. Browse to select the certificate file and click OK.
  4. Once installed, this new certificate will replace the default certificate listed on the SMTP Certificate pane.

To use the default certificate

  1. To use the default SMTP certificate provided with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, go to SMTP Certificate:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | SMTP Certificate.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | SMTP Certificate.

  3. On the warning Use Default dialog, type in the word Default to confirm you will be returning to the default certificate.
  4. Click OK .

SSL/TLS Certificates

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords enables an Appliance Administrator to upload SSL certificates with private keys or enroll SSL certificates via a CSR.

Go to the following selection, based on your client:

  • web client: Navigate to Certificates | SSL/TLS Certificates.
  • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | SSL Certificates.

To display the following information for the SSL/TLS certificates, select a certificate.
