Signing certificates on-the-fly

At a number of places, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can generate the server certificates on the fly. This technique is used for example in SSL-encrypted RDP sessions, RDP sessions that use Network Level Authentication (CredSSP), or SSH connections that use X.509-based authentication.

NOTE: Note the following points about using signing CAs:

  • Signing CAs require a CA certificate permitted to sign certificates, and also the corresponding private key.

  • These CAs cannot be used to sign audit trails. For details on how to configure the certificates used to sign audit trails, see Digitally signing audit trails.

  • The version of the generated certificates will be the same as the version of the signing CA.

  • SPS ignores the CRL (from the crlDistributionPoints extension) of the signing CA when generating certificates. If you want to include a CRL in the generated certificates, you must set it manually. See the following steps for details.

To create a signing CA using the built-in signing CA solution

  1. Navigate to Policies > Signing CAs and click .

  2. Select Local.

  3. Enter a name for the CA into the topmost field.

    Figure 184: Policies > Signing CAs — Creating Signing CAs - Local

  4. To upload a CA certificate and its private key, complete the following steps. Skip this step if you want to generate a CA on SPS.

    1. Click Edit in the CA X.509 certificate field and upload the certificate of the certificate authority. Alternatively, you can upload a certificate chain, where one member of the chain is the CA that will sign the certificates.

    2. Click Edit in the CA private key field and upload the private key of the certificate authority that will sign the certificates.

    3. (Optional) Enter the URL of the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) that you generated using your Certificate Authority in your Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solution. The URL pointing to this CRL will be included in the certificate. This is the CRL information that will be shown to clients connecting to SPS.

      Note that the CRL list is not generated by the internal CA of SPS. The list must come from your own PKI solution.

    4. Click .

  5. To generate a CA certificate on SPS, complete the following steps:

    1. Enter the Common Name for the CA certificate into the Common Name field. This name will be visible in the Issued By field of the certificates signed by this CA.

    2. Fill the other fields as required, then click Generate private key and certificate.

    3. Click .

To create a signing CA using an external signing CA plugin

  1. Navigate to Policies > Signing CAs and click .

  2. Select External Plugin.

  3. Enter a name for the CA into the topmost field.

    Figure 185: Policies > Signing CAs — Creating Signing CAs - External Plugin

  4. From the Plugin field, select an uploaded external plugin using the drop-down menu.

    To be able to select from the drop-down menu, you must have an external plugin uploaded in Basic Settings > Plugins.

    For more information about how to create an external Signing CA plugin, see Creating an external Signing CA.

  5. Optionally, fill the Configuration field as required by the uploaded plugin.

    The input you enter in the Configuration field is passed down to the plugin.

Creating an external Signing CA

Overview

The External Signing CA plugin's purpose is to generate certificate and private key pairs signed by a Certificate Authority. By using this type of plugin the certificate signing can be tailored to fit any custom requirement.

Details

The plugin is a .zip file containing a MANIFEST and a main.py file.

The MANIFEST file

The MANIFEST file is a YAML file, and should conform to version 1.2 of the YAML specification. It should contain the following information about the plugin:

api: 1.0
type: signingca
name: MySigningCaPlugin
version: 1.0
description: My custom Signing CA

The type of the plugin must be signingca.

The main.py file

A Plugin class containing the following methods must be defined in the main.py file:

  • generate_for_addresses: generates a key/certificate pair for the given addresses (IP/DNS)

  • generate_for_username: generates a key/certificate pair for the given username

  • generate_for_subject: generates a key/certificate pair for the given subject values

Method arguments

Each method must take the following arguments:

  • generate_for_addresses:

    • addresses: {list of str} - contains either IP or DNS addresses for which the certificate shall be issued

    • keytype: {str} - contains a fixed value of 'RSA' or 'DSS' indicating the requested key type for the certificate

  • generate_for_username:

    • username {str} - contains the username for which the certificate shall be issued

    • keytype: {str} - contains a fixed value of 'RSA' or 'DSS' indicating the requested key type for the certificate

  • generate_for_subject:

    • subject {list of (str, str)} - contains the certificate subject as type-value pairs (tuples). Valid types are the following:

      • 'C' country name

      • 'ST' state or province name

      • 'L' locality name

      • 'O' orangization name

      • 'OU' organizational unit

      • 'CN' common name

      • 'emailAddress' email address

    • keytype: {str} - contains a fixed value of 'RSA' or 'DSS' indicating the requested key type for the certificate

Method return values

Each method returns a {dict} that must have the following keys:

  • key: {str} the generated key

  • chain: {list of str} a PEM encoded certificate chain containing the generated certificate as the first element

Example

The code below demonstrates a simple plugin that can sign certificates with a built in CA. By default it uses a pre-generated CA certificate and key to complete signing requests. To use a custom certificate, provide a certificate and a key in a python dict format in the configuration field.

NOTE: If you wish to try this sample code, you will need to provide a MANIFEST file (see below) and the following package dependencies in the .zip file alongside the plugin:

  • asn1crypto

  • certbuilder

  • oscrypto

Creating a Local User Database

Local User Databases are available for HTTP, RDP, SSH and Telnet protocols, and can be used to authenticate the clients to credentials that are locally available on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). Such credentials include passwords and public keys. Local User Databases are most commonly used in inband gateway authentication scenarios.

NOTE: To store credentials on SPS and use them to authenticate on the server, use a local Credential Store. For details, see Using credential stores for server-side authentication.

To create a Local User Database

  1. Navigate to Policies > Local User Databases and click .

  2. Enter the name of the Local User Database.

  3. Click to add entries.

    Figure 186: Policies > Local User Databases — Mapping keys

  4. Enter the name of the user into the Username field.

    NOTE: If you also use Usermapping policies, enter the username that the client will use on the server side. If you also use gateway authentication, the gateway username can be used as well.

  5. If you use public-key based authentication on the client side, click the icon in the Public Keys field, and upload the public key of the client.

    SPS will verify that a client trying to use the username set in Step 3 is authenticating itself with the private key that corresponds to the uploaded public key or certificate.

    One Identity recommends using 2048-bit RSA keys (or stronger).

  6. Repeat the above steps to add other users as required.

  7. Click .

  8. Navigate to the Authentication Policies tab of the respective protocol and select the Local User Database there.

Configuring cleanup for the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) connection database

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can automatically archive audit trails older than a specified retention time. However, the metadata of the corresponding connections is not deleted from the SPS connection database. Deleting the stored data about old connections decreases the size of the database, making searches faster, and might be also required by certain policies or regulations. The period after metadata is deleted can be specified individually for the different protocols, (for example, data about SSH connections can be stored longer than other connections) and also for every connection policy.

To configure SPS to delete the metadata of old connections for a particular protocol

  1. Navigate to the Global Options page of the respective protocol, for example, to SSH Control > Global Options.

  2. Figure 187: <Protocol name> Control > Global Options — Configuring connection database cleanup for a protocol

    Enter how long SPS (in days) should keep the metadata into the Delete search metadata from SPS after field. For example, if you specify 365, SPS will delete the data of connections older than a year. Enter zero (0) to keep the data indefinitely (this is also the default behavior of SPS).

    NOTE: The database cleanup occurs once a day at 22:01 PM.

    The time you specify in the Delete search metadata from SPS after field cannot be shorter than the Delete data from SPS after field set for the Archive policies used in the connections of this protocol. Note that since the database cleanup happens once a day at 22:01 PM, if you specify the same retention time, for example, 1 day in the Delete data from SPS after field, ensure that the archiving or cleanup is set to start before 22:01 PM.

    The time you specify in the Delete search metadata from SPS after field cannot be shorter than the Delete search metadata from SPS after field set in the individual connection policies of this protocol.

  3. Click and repeat the previous step for other protocols if needed.

  4. Figure 188: <Protocol name> Control > Connections — Configuring connection database cleanup for a connection

    To delete the metadata of certain connections earlier than the time set in the Global Options > Delete search metadata from SPS after field of the protocol, navigate to the particular connection policy, and enter how long SPS (in days) should keep the metadata of the sessions of this connection policy into the Delete search metadata from SPS after field. Enter zero (0) to use the settings of the protocol (this is also the default behavior of SPS).

    NOTE: The time you specify in the Delete search metadata from SPS after field cannot be shorter than the Delete data from SPS after field set for the Archive policies used in the connections of this protocol. Note that since the database cleanup happens once a day at 22:01 PM, if you specify the same retention time, for example, 1 day in the Delete data from SPS after field, ensure that the archiving or cleanup is set to start before 22:01 PM.

  5. Click and repeat the previous step for other connections if needed.

    Expected outcome

    Every day SPS deletes the metadata of connections older than the given cleanup time from the connection database.
