Creating a Certificate Signing Request for audit logs

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

To create a CSR for an audit log signing certificate

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | Audit Log Signing Certificate.
  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. Maximum length of 500 characters.

      Note: Click Use Distinguished Name Creator to create the distinguished name based on fully-qualified domain name, department, organization unit, locality, state/county/region, and country.

    2. Alternate DNS Names: Optionally, enter additional or alternate host names (such as, IP addresses, sites, or common names) that are to be protected by this certificate.

    3. Key Size: Select the bit length of the private key pair:

      • 1024
      • 2048 (default)

      • 4096

      NOTE: The bit length determines the security level of the certificate. A higher bit length means stronger security.

  4. Click OK to save your selections and enroll the certificate.

    Certificates enrolled via CSR are listed in the Certificate Signing Request pane.

Some certificates require a digital signature before a certification authority (CA) can process the certificate request. The Certificate Signing Request pane displays details about any certificates enrolled via Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs). From this pane, you can also delete a CSR.

NOTE:Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports the Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #10 format for CSRs.

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | Certificate Signing Request. Certificates enrolled via a CSR appear on this pane including the following details.

Caution: Improper access to the private SSL key could compromise traffic to and from the appliance. For the most secure configuration, create a Certificate Signature Request (CSR) and have it signed by your normal signing authority.

Then use the signed request as your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords SSL Webserver Certificate. This way, no administrator will have access to the private SSL key that is used by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords and the traffic will be secure.
