Safeguard for Privileged Passwords On Demand Hosted - Evaluation Guide

Setting up the hardware appliance

CAUTION: To maximize security, restrict the access to MGMT interface to as few users as possible. The Management web kiosk gives access to functions without authentication, such as pulling a support bundle or rebooting the appliance.

Follow these steps to set up and configure the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance.

Step 1: Before you start

Ensure that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 (or later) on your management host.

Step 2: Prepare for installation

Gather the following items before you start the appliance installation process:

  • Laptop
  • IP address
  • IP subnet mask
  • IP gateway
  • DNS server address
  • NTP server address

  • Safeguard for Privileged Passwords license

    If you purchased Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, the appropriate license files should have been sent to you via email. If you have not received an email or need it to be resent, visit https://support.oneidentity.com/contact-us/licensing. If you need to request a trial key, please send a request to sales@oneidentity.com or call +1-800-306-9329.

Step 3: Rack the appliance

Prior to installing the racks for housing the appliance, refer to the Warnings and precautions appendix in the One Identity Safeguard Appliance Setup Guide.

Step 4: Power on the appliance

Prior to powering up the appliance, see the Standardized warning statements for AC systems appendix in the One Identity Safeguard Appliance Setup Guide.

The Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance includes dual power supplies for redundant AC power and added reliability.

  1. Plug the power cords to the power supply sockets on the appliance back and then connect the cords to AC outlets.

    TIP: As a best practice, connect the two power cords to outlets on different circuits. One Identity recommends using an UPS on all appliances.

  2. Press the Green check mark button on the front panel of the appliance for NO MORE THAN one second to power on the appliance.

    Caution: Once the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance is booted, DO NOT press and hold the Green check mark button. Holding this button for four or more seconds will cold reset the power of the appliance and may result in damage.

    You can use the Red X button to shut down the appliance. Once the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance is booted, press and hold the Red X button for four seconds until it displays POWER OFF.

    NOTE: If the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance is not yet booted, it may be necessary to press the Red X button for up to 13 seconds.

    Caution: Once the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance is booted, DO NOT press and hold the Red X button for more than 13 seconds. This will hard power off the appliance and may result in damage.

Step 5: Connect the management host to the appliance

The port used for a secure first-time configuration of the appliance is MGMT. This IP address is a fixed address that cannot be changed. It will always be available in case the primary interface becomes unavailable. The MGMT IP address is: 192.168.1.105.

The primary interface that connects your appliance to the network is X0. You must change the primary interface IP to match your network configuration. The default X0 IP is: 192.168.0.105.

The appliance can take up to five minutes to boot up. In addition, ping replies have been disabled on the appliance, so you will not be able to ping this secure appliance.

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the laptop to the MGMT port on the back of the appliance.

  2. Set the IP address of the laptop to 192.168.1.100, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and no default gateway.

Step 6: Log in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Open a browser on the laptop and connect to the IP address of the MGMT port https://192.168.1.105.

    If you have problems accessing the configuration interface, check your browser Security Settings or try using an alternate browser.

  2. Accept the certificate and continue. This is only safe when using an Ethernet cable connected directly to the appliance.

  3. Log in to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords web client using the Bootstrap Administrator account:
    • User name: admin

    • Password: Admin123

    The Bootstrap Administrator is a built-in account that allows you to get the appliance set up for first-time use. To keep your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance secure, change the default password for the Bootstrap Administrator’s account. For more information, see Completing the appliance setup.

  4. Configure the primary network interface (X0):
    • On the Appliance Configuration page, configure the following. Click the  Edit icon to modify these settings.

      • Time: Enable NTP and set the primary NTP server; if desired, set the secondary NTP server, as well. Click Save. By default, the NTP server is set to pool.ntp.org.

      • Network (X0):
        • Enter the appliance's IPv4 and/or IPv6 address information (IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway).Directory or network scans are supported for IPv4 but not IPv6.

        • Enter the DNS server address.

        • Optional, enter the DNS suffixes.

        • Click Save.

    NOTE: Starting with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 6.9, the Network Interface (X1) can be used to add additional virtual network adapters associated with the X1 ethernet port to enable VLAN support.

  5. Log in and download the desktop client to complete the next steps. For more information, see Completing the appliance setup.

Step 7: Connect the appliance to the network

Connect an Ethernet cable from your primary interface (X0) on the appliance to your network.

Step 8. After clustering, change the trusted servers, CORS, and redirects setting

As a best practice, after you have created your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster (or if just using a single VM), change the Trusted Servers, CORS and Redirects setting to the empty string or a list of values to integration applications you wish to allow. For more details, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Trusted Servers, CORS and Redirects.

Setting up the virtual appliance

The Appliance Administrator uses the initial setup wizard to give the virtual appliance a unique identity, license the underlying operating system, and configure the network. The initial setup wizard only needs to be run one time after the virtual appliance is first deployed, but you may run it again in the future. It will not modify the appliance identity if run in the future.

Once set up, the Appliance Administrator can change the appliance name, license, and networking information, but not the appliance identity (ApplianceID). The appliance must have a unique identity.

The steps for the Appliance Administrator to initially set up the virtual appliance follow.

Step 1: Make adequate resources available

The virtual appliances default deploy does not provide adequate resources. The minimum resources required are: 4 CPUs, 10GB RAM, and a 500GB disk. Without adequate disk space, the patch will fail and you will need to expand disk space then re-upload the patch.

Step 2: Deploy the VM

Deploy the virtual machine (VM) to your virtual infrastructure. The virtual appliance is in the InitialSetupRequired state.

Hyper-V zip file import and set up

If you are using Hyper-V, you will need the Safeguard Hyper-V zip file distributed by One Identity to setup the virtual appliance. Follow these steps to unzip the file and import:

  1. Unzip the Safeguard-hyperv-prod... zip file.
  2. From Hyper-V, click Options.
  3. Select Action, Import Virtual Machine.
  4. On the Locate Folder tab, navigate to specify the folder containing the virtual machine to import then click Select Folder.
  5. On the Locate Folder tab, click Next.
  6. On the Select Virtual Machine tab, select Safeguard-hyperv-prod....
  7. Click Next.
  8. On the Choose Import Type tab, select Copy the virtual machine (create a new unique ID).
  9. Click Next.
  10. On the Choose Destination tab, add the locations for the Virtual machine configuration folder, Checkpoint store, and Smart Paging folder.
  11. Click Next.
  12. On the Choose Storage Folders tab, identify Where do you want to store the imported virtual hard disks for this virtual machine?.
  13. Click Next.
  14. Review the Summary tab, then click Finish.
  15. In the Settings, Add Hardware, connect to Safeguard's MGMT and X0 network adapter.
  16. Right-click on the Safeguard-hyperv-prod... and click Connect... to complete the configuration and connect.

Step 3: Initial access

Initiate access using one of these methods:

  • Via a virtual display: Connect to the virtual display of the virtual machine. You will not be offered the opportunity to apply a patch with this access method. Upload and download are not available from the virtual display. Continue to step 3. If you are using Hyper-V, make sure that Enhanced Session Mode is disabled for the display. See your Hyper-V documentation for details.

  • Via a browser: Configure the networking of your virtual infrastructure to proxy https://192.168.1.105 on the virtual appliance to an address accessible from your workstation then open a browser to that address. For instructions on how to do this, consult the documentation of your virtual infrastructure (for example, VMWare). You will be offered the opportunity to apply a patch with this access method. Upload and download are available from the browser. Continue to step 3.

    IMPORTANT: After importing the OVA and before powering it on, check the VM to make sure it doesn't have a USB controller. If there is a USB controller, remove it.

Step 4: Complete initial setup

Click Begin Initial Setup. Once this step is complete, the appliance resumes in the Online state.

Step 5: Log in and configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. If you are applying a patch, check your resources and expand the disk space, if necessary. The minimum resources are: 4 CPUs, 10GB RAM, and a 500GB disk.
  2. To log in, enter the following default credentials for the Bootstrap Administrator then click Log in.
    • User Name: admin

    • Password: Admin123

  3. If you are using a browser connected via https://192.168.1.105, the Initial Setup pane identifies the current Safeguard version and offers the opportunity to apply a patch. Click Upload Patch to upload the patch to the current Safeguard version or click Skip. (This is not available when using the Safeguard Virtual Kiosk virtual display.)
  4. In the web management console on the Initial Setup pane, enter the following.
    1. Appliance Name: Enter the name of the virtual appliance.
    2. Windows Licensing: Select one of the following options:

      • Use KMS Server: If you leave this field blank, Safeguard will use DNS to locate the KMS Server automatically. For the KMS Server to be found, you will need to have defined the domain name in the DNS Suffixes.

        If KMS is not registered with DNS, enter the network IP address of your KMS server.

      • Use Product Key: If selected, your appliance will need to be connected to the internet for the necessary verification to add your organization's Microsoft activation key.

        You can update this information in Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Operating System Licensing. For more information, see Operating system license in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide.

    3. NTP: Complete the Network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration.
      • Select Enable NTP to enable the protocol.
      • Identify the Primary NTP Server IP address and, optionally, the Secondary NTP Server IP address.

Completing the appliance setup

After setting up the hardware appliance, complete these steps.

During initial installation and when applying a patch, make sure the desktop client file is the one supplied with the appliance version. If the versions are not compatible, errors will occur.

Step 1: Install the desktop client application and desktop player

NOTE: PuTTY is used to launch the SSH client for SSH session requests and is included in the install. The desktop client looks for any user-installed PuTTY in the following locations:

  • Any reference to putty in the PATH environment variable
  • c:/Program Files/Putty
  • c:/Program Files(x86)/Putty
  • c:/Putty

If PuTTY is not found, the desktop client uses the version of PuTTY that it installed at:

<user-home-dir>/AppData/Local/Safeguard/putty.

If the user later installs PuTTY in any of the locations above, the desktop client uses that version which ensures the user has the latest version of PuTTY.

Installing the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client application
