Account Discovery Results

You can view the results of running one or more Account Discovery jobs. To see the results of discoveries, see Discovered Accounts

Discovered Accounts

You can view the results of all Account Discovery jobs that have ever run in a partition (in other words, all accounts ever discovered) and choose to enable or disable the accounts.

Accounts created display as managed accounts in the Discovered Accounts properties grid (see below). For more information, see Management tab (add asset desktop client).

Go to Discovered Accounts:

  • web client: Navigate to Asset Management | Discovery | Discovered Items | Accounts tile.
  • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Discovery | Accounts | Discovered Accounts tile.

Use these toolbar buttons to manage the discovered accounts.

Table 104: Discovery: Discovered Accounts toolbar
Option Description

( desktop client only) Partition

Select the partition associated with the discovered accounts you want to view.

On the web client, the partition is selected on the Discovery page.

Manage

Click Manage to change the status to managed for one or more selected accounts. Accounts that are managed by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will be added to the asset's list of accounts and access request policies. The Discovery job may mark the accounts managed, or they can be selected and marked managed using this button.

Ignore

Click Ignore to set the Status to Ignore to prevent Safeguard for Privileged Passwords from managing the selected account. If the status of the account is None (blank in the desktop client) then the resulting status will be Ignored.

In the desktop client, if the status of the account is Managed then the resulting status will be Disabled if you select Ignore. In the web client, if the status of the account is Managed then you will need to use the Accounts page to change the status.

Show Ignored

Display the accounts with a Status of Ignored.

Hide Ignored

Hide the accounts with a Status of Ignored.

Refresh

Retrieve and display an updated list of discovered accounts. Ignored accounts are not displayed if Hide Ignored is selected.

Table 105: Discovery: Discovered Accounts properties grid
Property Description

Status

The discovered account may be:

  • Managed: A discovered account that is managed.
  • None: (In the desktop client this will appear blank) A discovered account that was not auto managed when discovered.
  • Ignored: A discovered account that was not auto managed and was ignored from discovery.
  • Disabled: A discovered account that previously had the status of Managed and then was marked Ignored. A disabled account is not removed from the Asset account list nor unconfigured as a dependent account. It is marked disabled and cannot be used or acted upon.

Name

The name of the account in Safeguard that maps to the discovered account associated with the asset. This can be a local account or an Active Directory account

Domain Name

The domain name of the account if the account is an Active Directory account.

( web client only) Asset Name

The name of the asset the account was discovered on.

Account Discovery Job

Name of the discovery schedule.

Asset Discovery Rule

The name of the Asset Discovery rule applied that discovered the account.

Date/Time Discovered

The date and time when the service or task was discovered.

Service Discovery Results

Setting up Service Discovery

To discover Windows services, you must first create an Account Discovery job, including an Account Discovery Rule, and select Discover Services. When the discovery job is run, services are discovered. The discovery of services is not dependent on the discovery rules. For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery job.

Discovered Services

The Discovered Services tile displays information for the selected partition on which the services were discovered. If desired, dependencies must be manually removed.

The Asset Administrator or delegated administrator can configure service discovery jobs to scan Windows assets and discover Windows services that may require authorization credentials.

The following types of services are discovered on managed Windows assets:

  • Windows services

  • Scheduled tasks

  • IIS Application Pools

  • Com+ applications

If the Windows asset is joined to a Windows domain, the authorization credentials can be local on the Windows asset or be Active Directory credentials.

IMPORTANT: For Windows SSH assets, a local account does not have the access necessary to discover services running as domain accounts. So if a local account is used as the service account for a Windows SSH asset, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will only discover services running as local accounts on that asset and domain account dependencies will not be updated.

IMPORTANT: If your asset's management type is Windows or WinRM (either desktop or server) then in order to discover IIS App Pools using Service Discovery, you will need to install one of the following features under the Management Tools section of the Web Server role:

NOTE: Discovery is supported for each of these service types on both Windows Server and Windows SSH platforms, but only the Windows SSH platform supports updating account dependencies on IIS App pools and Com+ applications.

Running Service Discovery jobs automatically and manually

Discovered services and tasks association to known Safeguard accounts

Service discovery jobs associate Windows services with accounts that are already managed by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. The accounts put under management display with an Account Status of Managed.

Service Discovery with Active Directory

A discovered service configured to run as an Active Directory account can be automatically associated to the asset with the account managed by Safeguard. Effectively, the asset will have an account dependency on the account.

To automatically associate, the Account Discovery job (which runs when Safeguard synchronizes the directory) must have the Automatically Manage Found Accounts check box selected. For more information, see Adding an Account Discovery rule. Once configured as an account dependency, when the Active Directory account’s password is changed by Safeguard, Safeguard updates the password for the service on the asset, according to the asset’s profile change settings. For more information, see Adding change password settings.

View Service Discovery job status

From the Activity Center, you can select the Activity Category named Service Discovery Activity, which shows the Event outcomes: Service Discovery Succeeded, Service Discovery Failed, or Service Discovery Started.

Discovered Services toolbar and properties

Go to Discovered Services:

  • web client: Navigate to Asset Management | Discovery | Discovered Items | Services tile.
  • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Discovery | Accounts | Discovered Services tile.

Use these toolbar buttons to manage the discovered services.

The grid shows the Asset Name, Account, Domain Name, System Name, and Account Status for the Discovered Account that Safeguard found that is matched up with the service discovered. The service is identified by a Service Name (with a Service Type of Service, IIS App pool, Com+ service, or Task).

Table 107: Discovery: Discovered Services properties
Property Description
Asset Name

The name of the asset where the service was discovered.

Account

The name of the account that maps to the Discovered Account column.

Domain Name

The domain name of the account if the account is an Active Directory account. Used to help determine uniqueness. Only Active Directory accounts can be configured as dependent accounts.

System Name

  • None: (In the desktop client this will appear blank) A discovered account that was not auto managed when discovered.
  • Ignored: A discovered account that was not auto managed and was ignored from discovery.

Dependent Account

A check displays if the account is associated as an account dependency on the asset. The value is blank if the account is not associated as an account dependency of the asset. This automatic dependency mapping only happens if the Automatically Manage Found Accounts option is selected on the Account Discovery job associated with the profile that is associated to the asset.
