Offline Workflow (automatic)

To reduce potential downtime, the Appliance Administrator can configure Offline Workflow Mode to be performed automatically. Offline Workflow Mode allows an appliance that has lost consensus (quorum) to operate in isolation from the cluster to process access requests using cached policy data.

To ensure the outage is not a short-lived outage, the default time before the appliance is automatically switched to Offline Workflow Mode is 15 minutes. The time threshold can be changed to five minutes or more.

If automatic Offline Workflow Mode is enabled, you can enable automatic Resume Online Workflow so the appliance automatically resumes online operations once consensus is restored. The minutes to wait after consensus is restored before automatically resuming online workflow defaults to 15 minutes. The time threshold can be changed to five minutes or more.

When Offline Workflow Mode settings are configured to run automatically, an Appliance Administrator can override the automatic settings and manually place an appliance in Offline Workflow Mode or manually restore an appliance to online workflow, as needed.

The user views status messages that clearly communicate the appliance state and the ability to request passwords and SSH keys.

For general information on Offline Workflow Mode, see About Offline Workflow Mode.

Go to Offline Workflow:

  • web client: Navigate to Cluster | Offline Workflow.
  • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Cluster | Offline Workflow.

    • Session Appliances with SPS link

    The Asset Administrator can link a Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) cluster to a Safeguard for Privileged Password (SPP) cluster of one appliance or more for session recording and auditing. The actual link must be between the SPP primary and the SPS cluster master. This means that the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) cluster is aware of each node in an SPP cluster and vice-versa.

    Once linked, all sessions are initiated by the SPP appliance via an access request and managed by the SPS appliance and sessions are recorded via the Sessions Appliance.

    CAUTION: When linking your One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) deployment to your One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) deployment, ensure that the SPS and SPP versions match exactly, and keep the versions synchronized during an upgrade. For example, you can only link SPS version 6.6 to SPP version 6.6, and if you upgrade SPS to version 6.7, you must also upgrade SPP to 6.7.

    Make sure that you do not mix Long Term Supported (LTS) and feature releases. For example, do not link an SPS version 6.0 to an SPP version 6.1.

    NOTE: If you have a single node SPS cluster where the Central Management node is also the Search Master, SPP will be unable to launch sessions. There has to be at least one SPS appliance in the cluster that is capable of recording sessions. See the SPS Administration Guide, Managing Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) clusters.

    Safeguard for Privileged Passwords link guidance

    Before initiating the link, review the steps and considerations in the link guidance. For more information, see SPP and SPS sessions appliance link guidance.

    Pay attention to the roles assigned to the SPS nodes. The following caution is offered to avoid losing session playback from SPP.

    CAUTION: Do not switch the role of an SPS node from the Search Local role to Search Minion role. If you do, playback of the sessions recorded while in the Search Local role may not be played back from the SPP appliance, and may only be played back via the SPS web user interface. Recordings made with the node in Search Minion role are pushed to the Search Master node and are available for download to SPP. For details about SPS nodes and roles, see the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions - Technical Documentation.

    Standard operating procedure after the initial link

    If you add another SPS cluster after the initial link, follow these standard operating procedures:

    1. Add link connections. See Viewing, deleting, or editing link connections later in this topic.

    2. Identify the session settings on the entitlements access request policy (SPS Connection Policy which is the IP address of the cluster master). For more information, see Creating an access request policy (desktop client).

    3. Assign the managed networks. For more information, see Managed Networks.
    4. Enable the Session Module Password Access Enabled toggle. Navigate to Settings | Access Request | Enable or Disable Services, Sessions Module
    If the SPS Central Management node is down

    SPP continues to launch sessions on the managed hosts when the SPS Central Management node is down. However, as long as the Central Management node is down, SPP cannot validate existing policies nor can it validate the SPS cluster topology. See the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide, Managing a High Availability One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) cluster.

    Connection deletion: soft delete versus hard delete

    Depending on your goals, you can perform a soft delete or a hard delete.

    Soft delete the connection

    When a session connection is deleted from the desktop client, the connection information is soft deleted so that a relink of the same SPS appliance can reuse the same values. This approach of soft deleting and reusing the same connection values on a relink avoids "breaking" all of the Access Request Polices that referenced the previous session connection.

    If the session connection is deleted, a caution displays when you navigate to Security Policy Management | Entitlements | Access Request Policies and go to the Security tab. For more information, see Session Settings tab (create access request policy desktop client).

    Hard delete the connection

    A hard delete can be performed to permanently remove the session connection. This is usually only done in cases where either a relink is not desired or retaining the previous session connection values is preventing an SPS appliance from linking or relinking.

    A hard delete can be performed from the API using the following steps for using PowerShell or Swagger.

    Hard delete with PowerShell

    The latest version of Safeguard PowerShell includes two cmdlets to perform the hard delete:

    split-safeguardSessionCluster -SessionMaster <name or ID of session master>

    Remove-SafeguardSessionSplitCluster -SessionMaster <name or ID of session master>

    See OneIdentity/safeguard-ps.

    Hard delete with Swagger

    1. In a browser, navigate to https://<your-ip-address>/service/core/swagger.
    2. Authenticate to the service using the Authorize button.
    3. Navigate to Cluster->GET /v3/cluster/SessionModules and click Try it out!.
    4. Identify if the unwanted session connection exists on the list:
      1. If the unwanted session connection exists in the list, then:
        1. Note the ID of the session connection.
        2. Navigate to Cluster DELETE /v3/cluster/SessionModules.
        3. Enter the ID.
        4. Click Try it out!”.
        5. Go to step 3.
      2. If the unwanted session connection does not exist in the list, then:
        1. Set the includeDisconnected parameter to true.
        2. Click Try it out!.
        3. If the unwanted session connection exists in the list, then go to step 4a to delete the entry a second time which will result in a hard delete.
    5. The process is complete and the session connection is permanently removed.
    Viewing, deleting, or editing link connections

    Once the link is complete, go to Session Appliances:

    • web client: Navigate to Cluster | Session Appliances.
