Preparing IBM i (AS/400) systems

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports IBM i systems (formerly known as AS/400).

To prepare IBM i systems for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Create a service account on the asset and assign it a password.
  2. Grant the service account the privileges required to use the chgusrprf command on other profiles.

  3. If not already installed, install a telnet server on the IBM iSeries (AS/400) system. If required, secure telnet with SSL.

    NOTE: Please refer to your IBM iSeries (AS/400) system documentation for details on installing and configuring the telnet server (and SSL). See the IBM Knowledge Center.

  4. Test the telnet server using a Windows-based 3270 emulator or on Linux, use the telnet-ssl or x3270 programs to test SSL and non-SSL connections to an IBM iSeries system.
  5. In Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, create the asset and accounts for the IBM iSeries (AS/400) system using password authentication.
About certificate support for the telnet protocol

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically accepts any server certificate that the connection offers and does not verify the trust chain on the telnet certificate. In addition, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not support client certificate selection, so if telnet requires that the client present a certificate that is signed by a recognized authority, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cannot support that configuration.

Safeguard for Privileged Passwordsuses the Juniper Networks JunOS operating system to manage Juniper Networks routers and switches. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to JunOS systems using SSH.

CAUTION: If you get the message: Shared configuration database modified, the global configuration is currently being edited. The edits must be committed or discarded so Safeguard can enter configure private mode. To resolve the problem, log in to the box interactively with SSH, run configure, and then run status to review the sessions currently editing the global configuration. Run rollback to discard any edits or commit to commit the changes.
