These topics explain how to install, start, and uninstall the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client application:

Installing the desktop client

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.

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

  1. To download the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client Windows installer .msi file, open a browser and navigate to:

    https://<Appliance IP>/Safeguard.msi

    Save the Safeguard.msi file in a location of your choice.

  2. Run the MSI package.
  3. Select Next in the Welcome dialog.
  4. Accept the End-User License Agreement and select Next.
  5. Select Install to begin the installation.
  6. Select Finish to exit the desktop client setup wizard.
  7. Check your desktop resolution. The desktop client works the best at a resolution of 1024 x 768 or greater.

Installing the Desktop Player

CAUTION: If the Desktop Player is not installed and a user tries to play back a session from the Activity Center, a message like the following will display: No Desktop Player. The Safeguard Desktop Player is not installed. Would you like to install it now? The user will need to click Yes to go to the download page to install the player following step 2 below.
