SSH Key

On the Connection tab, you can configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to authenticate to a managed system using an SSH authentication key. To rotate SSH keys, you must select the Manage SSH Key option in the asset's profile change schedule. For more information, see Adding SSH key change settings.

NOTE: This option is not available for all operating systems. But if a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords asset requires an SSH host key and does not have one, Check SSH Key, Change SSH Key, and Test Connection will fail. For more information, see Connectivity failures.

The information that displays depends on whether you choose to automatically generate the SSH key or import and manually deploy the SSH key.

    Use SSL Encryption

    Selected by default, this option is used to enable Safeguard to encrypt communication with this asset.

    To support SSL on Active Directory, you must upload the SSL certificate being used by the Active Directory forest. The SSL binds will need to be on port 636. For information on this process within Active Directory, see Enable LDAP over SSL with a third-party certificate authority.

    If you do not select this option for a MicrosoftSQL Server that is configured to force encryption, Test Connection will use untrusted encryption and succeed with valid credentials. For more information about how Safeguard database servers use SSL, see How do Safeguard for Privileged Passwords database servers use SSL.

    Verify SSL Certificate

    Use this option to enable or disable SSL Certificate verification on the asset. When enabled, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords compares the signing authority of the certificate presented by the asset to the certificates in the Trusted CA Certificates store every time Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to the asset. Trust must be established for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to manage the asset. For Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to verify an SSL certificate, you must add the asset's signing authority certificate to the Trusted CA Certificates store. Only clear the Verify SSL Certificate option if you do not want to establish trust with the asset.

    Privilege Level Password If required, enter the system enable password to allow access to the Cisco configuration.
