Safeguard for Privileged Passwords On Demand Hosted - User Guide

Introduction System requirements and versions Using the web client Getting started with the desktop client Using the desktop client Search box Privileged access requests About us

Approving a password release request

Depending on how the Security Policy Administrator configured the policy, a password release request will either require approval by one or more Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users, or be auto-approved. This process ensures the security of account passwords, provides accountability, and provides dual control over the system accounts.

You can revoke a request between the time the requester views it and checks it in.

Any eligible approver can deny a password release request after it has already been approved or auto-approved. Once disallowed, the requester will no longer have access to the password, but they are given another opportunity to request that password again. The requester receives an email notifying them that the request was denied.

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can be configured to notify you of a password release request that requires your approval. For more information, see Configuring alerts.

(desktop client) To review a completed password release request

  1. From your  Home page, the Reviews widget has these controls:
    1. Click  (expand down) to open the list of pending reviews.
    2. Click  Popout to float the Reviews pane.

      You can then select and drag the pane to any location on the console and resize the window.

    NOTE: You enable or disable the Home page widgets in the  Settings (desktop client) menu.

  2. Open the list of pending reviews and select an account name to see the details of the password release request.

  3. Take the following action on password release requests:

    • Select Workflow to review the transactions that took place in the selected request.
    • Select  Review to complete the review process.

      Optionally, enter a comment of up to 255 characters.

    Once the review is complete, it no longer appears on the Reviews pane.

TIP: If one requester checks in the request and another requester wants to use it, the second requester is unable to check out the password until the original request has been reviewed. However, the Security Policy Administrator can Close a request that has not yet been reviewed. This will bypass the reviewer in the workflow and allow the account to be accessed by another requester.

SSH key release request workflow

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords provides secure control of managed accounts by storing SSH keys until they are needed, and releases them only to authorized persons. Then, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically updates the account SSH keys based on configurable parameters.

Typically, an SSH key release request follows this workflow.

  1. Request: Users that are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement can request SSH keys for any account in the scope of that entitlement's policies.
  2. Approve: Depending on policy configuration, approval can be automatic or require the consent of one or more users which provides closer control over system accounts.
  3. Review: The Security Policy Administrator can optionally configure an access request policy to require a review of completed SSH key release requests for accounts in the scope of the policy.

Requesting an SSH key release

If you are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement, you can request SSH keys for any account in the scope of the entitlement's policies.

You can configure One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to notify you of pending SSH key release workflow events, such as when an SSH key release request is pending, denied, or revoked, and so forth. For more information, see Configuring alerts.
