User management and access control

The AAA endpoint contains the configuration endpoints for the authentication, authorization, and account (AAA) settings of the users who access SPS.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists the AAA configuration endpoints.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/
Response

The following is a sample response received when listing AAA configuration endpoints.

Login settings

Use login settings to control the web login access of administrators and users to SPS. With the /aaa/settings endpoint you can configure the following three security enhancing measures:

  • Protecting against brute-force attacks

  • Authentication banner

  • Web interface timeout

For more information, see the corresponding sections in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide.

Element

Type

Description

Notes

authentication_banner

string

Displays a banner with a configurable text on the web and console login screen of SPS. Users will see the banner every time they try to log in to SPS. The login screen displays the banner text as plain text, with whitespaces preserved.

If you specify an empty string, then no authentication banner will show.

bruteforce_protection

JSON object

Protects the web login addresses of administrators and users against brute-force attacks. After the users reach the configured number of unsuccessful login attempts, SPS denies all following attempts for the configured time.

 

bruteforce_protection.attempt_limit

number

The number of unnsuccessful login attempts before the user name or the IP address is locked out. If the number of subsequent unsuccessful login attempts exceeds this limit, the IP address or the user name will be blocked for a period, which is specified in bruteforce_protection.lockout_minutes.

Value range: 1-50 attempts

Default value: 20 attempts

bruteforce_protection.lockout_minutes

number

The period of time for which the user or the IP address is locked out from using the SPS appliance. It is measured in minutes.

Value range: 1-720 minutes

Default value: 10 minutes

webinterface_timeout

number

The period of inactivity after which SPS terminates the web session of a user. It is measured in minutes.

Value range: 5-720 minutes

Default value: 10 minutes

HTTP response codes

For more information and a complete list of standard HTTP response codes, see Application level error codes.

Privileges of usergroups

This endpoint lists the usergroups configured on SPS, and the privileges (ACLs) of each group.

Note that currently you cannot edit the privileges (ACLs) of the groups using the REST API. If you change the privileges of a usergroup on the SPS web interface, the changes will apply to the users when they authenticate again on SPS, the privileges of active sessions are not affected.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/acls
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Query a specific audit data access rule

To find out the contents of a particular audit data access rule, complete the following steps:

NOTE: If you have an SPS user who has Search > Search in all connections privileges in Users & Access Control > Appliance Access, the autogenerated-all-data-access-id rule is automatically generated. Therefore, you can almost always query this audit data access rule.

  1. Query the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data/<key-of-rule-to-be-queried> endpoint.
    curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data/<key-of-rule-to-be-queried>
