Adding a custom platform

It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to configure the rules so Safeguard for Privileged Passwords handles custom platforms. The custom platform script must be available for uploading. For more information, see Creating a custom platform script.

To add a custom platform

  1. Have the custom platform script file available to upload.
  2. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Asset Management | Custom Platforms.
  3. Click  Add.
  4. These fields display:
    1. Name: Enter the unique name of the platform type, which may be a product name.
    2. Version: Enter the version of the target platform to use as an identifier.
    3. Architecture: Enter the CPU architecture to use as an identifier. If not applicable, use Any.

    4. Platform Script: Click Browse. Navigate to and select the script file. Click Open. The selected custom platform script file displays.

    5. Select the Allow Sessions Requests check box to allow session access requests. This check box is typically selected for SSH. Clear the Allow Sessions check box to prohibit session access requests.
  5. Click OK. If the custom platform script has errors, an error message like the following displays: Definition was not a valid json object .

Tags

Asset Administrators can define rules that will dynamically add tags to assets and asset accounts so that they can be easily identified and added to dynamic groups. Use the Administrative Tools | Settings | Asset Management | Tags pane to create and manage dynamic tags for assets and asset accounts.

In addition, Asset Administrators can manually add static tags to assets and accounts on the General tab of the Assets or Accounts view. For more information, see Manually adding a tag to an asset and Manually adding a tag to an account.

The Tags pane provides a centralized view of all the tags defined for assets and asset accounts, regardless of how they were assigned. It displays the following details.
