boolean

X.509 setting. Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to x509.

Set to true to allow the admin user to use password for login.

string

X.509 setting. Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to x509.

X.509 DN field name of the username (case sensitive). In most cases, this value is either CN or UID.

trusted_ca

string

X.509 setting. Must be used if the value of the selection element is set to x509.

References the identifier of the trusted CA. You can view or modify the list of trusted CAs at the /api/configuration/policies/trusted_ca_lists/ endpoint.

To modify or add a trusted CA, use the value of the returned key as the value of the trusted_ca element, and remove any child elements (including the key).

Example: Local user database with password authentication

This example configures a local user database with a password policy to authenticate the users of SPS:

NOTE:

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters. The following special characters can be used: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^-`{|}

NOTE:

The strength of the password is determined by its entropy: the variety of numbers, letters, capital letters, and special characters used, not only by its length.

To execute some simple dictionary-based attacks to find weak passwords, set Cracklib (eg. dictionary) check on password to Enabled.

NOTE:

Changes to the password policy do not affect existing passwords. However, setting password expiry will require every user to change their passwords after the expiry date, and the new passwords must comply with the strength requirements set in the password policy.

{
  "backend": {
    "cracklib_enabled": false,
    "expiration_days": 0,
    "minimum_password_strength": "good",
    "remember_previous_passwords": 10,
    "selection": "local"
  },
  "method": {
    "selection": "passwd"
  },
  "require_commitlog": false
}

Example: Local user database with RADIUS server

This example configures a local user database with a RADIUS server to authenticate the users of SPS. Note that the password-related elements have to be disabled, as the RADIUS server determines the password policy.

Caution:

The challenge/response authentication method is currently not supported. Other authentication methods (for example password, SecureID) should work.

Caution:

After you commit this configuration, the SPS web interface will be available only after successfully authenticating to the RADIUS server. Note that the default admin account of SPS will be able to login normally, even if the RADIUS server is unaccessible.

  "backend": {
    "cracklib_enabled": false,

        "shared_secret": "<id-of-the-password>"
      }
    ]
  },
  "require_commitlog": false
}

Example: Local user database with X.509 certificates

This example configures a local user database with X.509 certificates to authenticate the users of SPS. Note that the password-related elements have to be disabled.

{
  "backend": {
    "cracklib_enabled": false,
    "expiration_days": 0,
    "minimum_password_strength": "disabled",
    "remember_previous_passwords": 0,
    "selection": "local"
  },
  "method": {
    "admin_fallback": true,
    "dn": "<CN>",
    "selection": "x509",
    "trusted_ca": "<id-of-the-trusted-ca>"
  },
  "require_commitlog": false
}

Example: POSIX LDAP server

NOTE:

The admin user is available by default and has all privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.
Enabling LDAP authentication automatically disables the access of every local user except for admin. The admin user can login to SPS even if LDAP authentication is used.
SPS accepts both pre-win2000-style and Win2003-style account names (User Principal Names). User Principal Names (UPNs) consist of a username, the at (@) character, and a domain name, for example administrator@example.com.
For the username of SSH users, only valid UTF-8 strings are allowed.
The following characters cannot be used in:
- usernames: /\[]:;|=+*?<>"
- group names: /\[]:;|=+*?<>"@,
When using RADIUS authentication together with LDAP users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed in LDAP. For details, see "Authenticating users to a RADIUS server" in the Administration Guide.
SPS treats user and group names in a case insensitive manner if the matching rule for the attribute in question is case insensitive in the LDAP database.

Caution:

Nested groups can slow down the query and cause the connection to timeout if the LDAP tree is very large. In this case, disable the Enable nested groups option.

NOTE:

You also have to configure the usergroups in SPS and possibly in your LDAP database. For details on using usergroups, see "Using usergroups" in the Administration Guide.

This example configures a POSIX LDAP server, communication between SPS and the LDAP server is not encrypted. Note that for password authentication, the password-related elements have to be omitted from the JSON, as the POSIX server determines the password policy.

Example: Microsoft Active Directory server

NOTE:

The admin user is available by default and has all privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.
Enabling LDAP authentication automatically disables the access of every local user except for admin. The admin user can login to SPS even if LDAP authentication is used.

NOTE:

You also have to configure the usergroups in SPS and possibly in your LDAP database. For details on using usergroups, see "Using usergroups" in the Administration Guide.

This example configures a Microsoft Active Directory server with mutual authentication, and SPS verifies the certificate of the server. Note that for password authentication, the password-related elements have to be omitted from the JSON, as the AD server determines the password policy.
