Syslog Events

You can configure audit event logs to send to syslog server (cluster-wide). Audit events include connection, closure, and failures. Failures include the reason, the initiator, and the target. For example, a certificate validation failure will include the initiator and the target.

If you have not configured a syslog server, you will see a message like this: To configure additional debut logging options, you need to configure a syslog server. Click Configure a syslog server. For more information, see Configuring and verifying a syslog server.

    ServiceNow ticketing system integration

    ServiceNow is a cloud-based issue tracking system. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can exchange the following ticket types with ServiceNow:

    • INC (incident) tickets
    • CHG (change) tickets
    • RITM (request) tickets
    • PRB (problem) tickets

    The data items specific to ServiceNow may be optional based on your configuration.

    To use ServiceNow, the root CA Certificate required for ServiceNow must be installed in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. For more information, see Trusted CA Certificates. To add a trusted certificate, see Adding a trusted certificate.

    Tickets can be viewed in the Activity Center, Ticket # column.

    Setting up the integration

    1.  Go to Ticket Systems:
      • web client: Navigate to External Integration > Ticket Systems.
    2. Click  Add to add a ticket system.
    3. Do the following:
      • web client: Select ServiceNow.

      • Password: Enter the user account's password.
      • Client Identifier: Enter the ServiceNow Client ID.
      • Client Secret: Enter the ServiceNow secret key.
    5. Click Test Connection to test the connection to ServiceNow.

    Ticket workflow

    1. The Security Policy Administrator creates an access request policy that requires the requester to provide a ticket number when creating an access request.
    2. When the requester makes a request, they must enter the existing ServiceNow ticket number on the New Access Request dialog, Request Details tab, Ticket Number field. See:
    3. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords queries all configured ticket systems to see if that ticket number represents a ticket that exists and is in an open state. For ServiceNow, Safeguard checks the Active property of the identified ticket returned from the ServiceNow API and considers the ticket number valid if the Active property is not false for that incident.
      1. If the ticket is not active, the request is denied.
      2. If the ticket is active, the access workflow continues.
