One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can manage cloud platform accounts such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Before you add cloud platform accounts to SPP, you must first add an asset with which to associate the accounts. For more information, see Preparing Amazon Web Services platforms.

  4. In the Connection tab:

    1. Platform: Select the appropriate product, such as Amazon Web Services.
    2. Version: For Amazon Web Services, select the version.
    3. Architecture: Enter the product's system architecture.
    4. Network Address: For Amazon Web Services, enter the AWS Account ID or Alias which can be found on the AWS IAM User's view.
    5. Authentication type: Select one of the following:

      1. Access Key to authenticate to the asset using an access key. Enter the following information:

        • Service Account Name: Enter the configured IAM service account.
