It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to integrate with an external Hardware Security Module for encryption.
Use the Hardware Security Module pane to configure the Hardware Security Module integration. The following Hardware Security Modules are supported:
Go to Hardware Security Module:
- web client: Navigate to Appliance Management > External Integration > Hardware Security Module.
Before you start
Before configuring the Hardware Security Module integration, the Thales Luna environment needs to be fully installed and configured. This includes but is not limited to:
-
Setting the Crypto Officer password.
-
Generating the Hardware Security Module server certificate(s) (network Luna only).
-
Generating a Hardware Security Module client certificate for each Safeguard for Privileged Password clustered appliance (network Luna only).
-
Initializing a partition.
-
Creating any high availability groups Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will utilize.
SPP will require the following information to configure the integration:
-
Crypto Officer password
-
Server certificate(s) (network Luna only)
-
Client certificate(s) (network Luna only)
-
Partition label (can be high availability group label)
-
crystoki.ini file
If you are configuring an integration that includes a network Luna device, first install and assign the Hardware Security Module client and server certificates for your environment. For more information, see Installing a Hardware Security Module client certificate, Assigning a Hardware Security Module client certificate, and Uploading a Hardware Security Module server certificate.
IMPORTANT: Connection to network Luna devices is only supported through a Network Trust Links (NTLs) connection. Secure Trusted Channel (STC) connections are not supported when integrating with SPP.
|
|
CAUTION: It is best practice to only enable or disable a Hardware Security Module integration on a standalone SPP appliance. The encrypted data stored within the SPP appliance will be re-encrypted during these operations. If enabling or disabling in a clustered environment, the cluster will be broken and the primary SPP appliance will be set to a standalone appliance and all replica’s will need to be rejoined to the cluster after the maintenance task has been completed. During this time ensure that no operations that use encrypted data, such as password check and change are performed on the replica appliances to avoid data corruption. |
|
|
CAUTION: SPP will use a reserved label for the encryption key stored on the Hardware Security Module partition. These labels cannot exist on the partition when doing an integration for the first time. The reserved key label name is:
SafeguardMasterKey1 |
|
|
CAUTION: When configuring an integration that includes network Luna devices, ensure all client and server certificates have been installed on the primary SPP appliance for all future cluster members. In addition, install and assign the required client certificates on the replicas prior to joining the cluster. |
To configure the Hardware Security Module integration
-
Go to Hardware Security Module:
-
Select the Use External HSM checkbox.
-
In the Partition Label field, enter the partitional label SPP should use on the Hardware Security Module device.
-
Enter the Crypto Officer password SPP should use to connect to the Hardware Security Module device.
-
Click Upload File and browse for the crystoki.ini configuration file.
-
Once selected, click Open.
-
Click Save.
NOTE: If there is an error with SPP ability to move forward with the integration based on the provided configuration, a message displays in the user interface with further information.
Once you have finished configuring the Hardware Security Module integration, the following information and options will be available:

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to configure SNMP subscriptions for sending SNMP traps to your SNMP console when certain events occur.
Go to SNMP:
- web client: Navigate to External Integration > SNMP.
The SNMP pane displays the following about the SNMP subscribers defined.
Table 52: SNMP: Properties
