The Post Install Checklist helps you complete setting up your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords appliance. After the initial setup of a cluster, these are the recommended best practice settings to complete.
For Appliance Administrators, Operations Administrators, System Auditor users, and Auditor users, the Post Install Checklist is available on the Home page of the SPP web client. For Authorizer users or User Administrator users, only one item of the checklist is displayed.
The items listed in the checklist vary depending on if they are still outstanding or not. For example, if the Bootstrap Administrator user is not marked as deactivated, it will appear on the checklist of a User Administrator or Authorizer user. You cannot manually remove or add items to the checklist. The checklist container is always displayed regardless of whether there are any outstanding items, but the administrator can collapse it.
The Post Install Checklist has the following items.
-
Deactivate Bootstrap Admin user
NOTE: Change the Bootstrap Admin user's password and then deactivate the user. If you are locked out, call One Identity support for a recovery code. This must be done by a user with the Authorizer permission.
-
Trusted Servers, CORS and Redirects
NOTE: Unless joining replica nodes to the cluster, or if you have external applications that log in or call the API, set this setting to an empty string. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
OAuth2 Grant Types
NOTE: Unless you have external applications that log in programmatically using an OAuth2 flow, disable all grant types. All applications should use an external web browser and the PKCE extension flow. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Enable Secure Token Service Login Timeout
NOTE: This will invalidate cookies that are used during login, limiting their lifetime, and require the user to start the login process over again if left idle for too long. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Archive Servers
NOTE: Configure an archive server for use with backups and audit logs. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Backup Protection and Archive
NOTE: Configure backups to use password or GPG key protection, and save them to an archive server. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Audit Log Maintenance Settings
TIP: Archive or purge audit logs on a regular schedule. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Enable NTP
NOTE: Use an external NTP server to synchronize the system clock. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Audit Log Signing Certificate
NOTE: Change the default, untrusted audit log signing certificate to one trusted by your organization's PKI. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
SSL/TLS Certificates
NOTE: Change the default, untrusted SSL/TLS certificate to one trusted by your organization's PKI and matches each node's DNS name. This must be done by an Appliance admin user.
-
Use the native features of your hypervisor to encrypt the hard disk of your SPP virtual machine.
NOTE: If using VMware, enable virtual disk encryption.
NOTE: If you use VMware with encryption enabled, the virtual machine is unable to detect that, therefore, this item will always be on the checklist.
The web client uses a responsive user interface design to adapt to the user's device, from desktops to tablets or mobile phones. Only one user session will persist during a browser session. Any tabs opened after initial authentication will use the existing user session.
