Archive/Cleanup policy

Archiving transfers data from SPS to an external storage solution, cleanup removes (deletes) old files. Archived data can be accessed and searched, but cannot be restored (moved back) to the SPS appliance. Only those closed audit-trail files are archived where the retention time has already elapsed. To list the available Archive policies, use the following command.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/archive_cleanup_policies/

The following sections detail the properties of Archive/Cleanup policy objects.

Audit policies

The list of audit policies. An audit policy contains settings for encrypting, timestamping, and signing audit trails. To enable auditing for a connection, select an audit policy when configuring connections, and enable auditing for the appropriate protocol channels in the connection's channel policy.

URL

GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/audit_policies

Cookies

Sample request

The following command lists the audit policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/audit_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/policies/audit_policies/<policy-id>

Encrypting certificates

Encrypting certificates must not contain any metadata. SPS uses only the key part of the certificate, no other data (expiry, etc.) are relevant for encryption.

To use a certificate with the SPS API, remove all metadata, and substitute line breaks with \n.

The following is an example certificate, as used on the SPS web interface:

Real-time content monitoring with Content Policies

You can monitor the traffic of certain connections in real time, and execute various actions if a certain pattern (for example, a particular command or text) appears in the command line or on the screen, or if a window with a particular title appears in a graphical protocol. Since content-monitoring is performed real-time, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can prevent harmful commands from being executed on your servers. SPS can also detect numbers that might be credit card numbers. The patterns to find can be defined as regular expressions. In case of ICA, RDP, and VNC connections, SPS can detect window title content.

The following actions can be performed:

• Log the event in the system logs.

• Immediately terminate the connection.

• Send an e-mail or SNMP alerts about the event.

• Store the event in the connection database of SPS.

SPS currently supports content monitoring in SSH session-shell connections, Telnet connections, RDP and Citrix ICA Drawing channels, and in VNC connections.

To list the available Content policies, use the following command.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/content_policies

The following sections detail the properties of Content policy objects.

Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).
The following characters must be escaped using a backslash character: '(single-quote). For example, instead of .*' use .*\'
SPS uses substring search to find the expression in the content. That is, SPS finds the expression even if there is more content before or after the matching part. For example, the conf pattern will match the following texts: conf, configure, reconfigure, arcconf, and so on.
Using complicated regular expressions or using many regular expressions will affect the performance of SPS.
If the multiple expressions are set, SPS processes them one after the other, and stops processing the content if the first match is found, even if other expressions would also match the content. Therefore, when using multiple expressions, start with the most specific one, and add general expressions afterward.
