One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 7.4.1

NOTE: Only available for some types of directory accounts.

On the Connection tab, you can configure SPP to authenticate to a managed system using an account from an external identity store such as Microsoft Active Directory. In order to use this authentication type, you must first add a directory asset to SPP and add domain user accounts. Managed account users cannot be members of the Protected Users AD Security Group. For more information, see Accounts..

Table 110: Directory Account authentication type properties
Property	Description
Service Account Name	Click Select Account. Choose the service account name used for management tasks. The accounts available for selection are domain user accounts that are linked to a directory that was previously added to SPP.
Service Account Password	If required, enter the password used to authenticate.
Privilege Elevation Command	If required, enter a privilege elevation command (such as sudo). This is used as a prefix for commands that require privileged access on the system and to manage accounts on Unix-based systems; that is, to check and change SSH keys and to discover accounts. Sudo commands follow. AuthorizedKeyCommand Specify a program to look up the user's public keys cat chmod chown cp echo egrep find grep host ls mkdir mv rm sed sshd ssh-keygen tee test touch usermod When adding an asset, this command is used to perform Test Connection. For more information, see About Test Connection.. The privilege elevation command must run non-interactively, that is, without prompting for a password. For more information, see Preparing Unix-based systems. The limit is 255 characters.
Test Connection	Click this button to verify that SPP can log in to this asset using the service account credentials you have provided. For more information, see About Test Connection..
Service Account Profile	Click Edit to add the profile or — Remove to delete the assigned profile. Available profiles are based on the partition selected on the General tab (asset discovery). To update the profile later, go to the service account and update the profile. For more information, see Properties (account)..
Use Named Pipe for service account connection	Select to use the Named Pipe when connecting to the asset. Clear this check box to use TCP/IP when connecting to the asset.
Use SSL Encryption	Selected by default, this option is used to enable Safeguard to encrypt communication with this asset. To support SSL on Active Directory, you must upload the SSL certificate being used by the Active Directory forest. The SSL binds will need to be on port 636. For information on this process within Active Directory, see Enable LDAP over SSL with a third-party certificate authority. If you do not select this option for a MicrosoftSQL Server that is configured to force encryption, Test Connection will use untrusted encryption and succeed with valid credentials. For more information about how Safeguard database servers use SSL, see How do SPP database servers use SSL.
Verify SSL Certificate	Use this option to enable or disable SSL Certificate verification on the asset. When enabled, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords compares the signing authority of the certificate presented by the asset to the certificates in the Trusted CA Certificates store every time Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to the asset. Trust must be established for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to manage the asset. For Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to verify an SSL certificate, you must add the asset's signing authority certificate to the Trusted CA Certificates store. Only clear the Verify SSL Certificate option if you do not want to establish trust with the asset.
Privilege Level Password	If required, enter the system enable password to allow access to the Cisco configuration.
Auto Accept SSH Host Key	Select this option to have SPP automatically accept an SSH host key. When an asset requiring an SSH host key does not have one, Check Password will fail. For more information, see Connectivity failures..
Instance	Specify the Instance name if you have configured multiple instances of a SQL Server on this asset. If you have configured a default (unnamed) instance of the SQL Server on the host, you need to provide the IP address and port number.
Port	Enter the port number to log in to the asset. This option is not available for all operating systems.
Connection Timeout	Enter the directory connection timeout period. Default: 20 seconds.

Local System Account

On the Connection tab, you can configure SPP to authenticate to a managed SQL Server using a local system account and password. The local system account is a Windows user account on the server that is hosting the SQL database.

NOTE: In order to use this authentication type, you must add both a Windows asset and a SQL Server asset to SPP.

For Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to verify an SSL certificate, you must add the asset's signing authority certificate to the Trusted CA Certificates store. Only clear the Verify SSL Certificate option if you do not want to establish trust with the asset.
Instance/Service Name	For SQL Server platforms, specify the Instance name if you have configured multiple instances of a SQL Server on this asset. If you have configured a default (unnamed) instance of the SQL Server on the host, you need to provide the IP address and port number. For Oracle platforms, use the TNSNAMES naming method to identify the target system in Oracle. Depending on how the Oracle environment is configured, the Instance (also called SID in Oracle) and/or the Service Name (ServiceName) can be used to identify the target database.
Port	Enter the port number to log in to the asset.
Connection Timeout	Enter how long to wait (in seconds) for both the connect and command timeout. Default: 20 seconds

Password (local service account)

On the Connection tab, you can configure SPP to authenticate to a managed system using a local service account and password.

NOTE: Some options are not available for all operating systems.

Auto Accept SSH Host Key	This check box is selected by default indicating that SPP automatically accepts an SSH host key. This option is not available for all platforms. Once the SSH host key is discovered, the SSH host key fingerprint is displayed. When an asset requiring an SSH host key does not have one, Check Password will fail.

Only clear the Verify SSL Certificate option if you do not want to establish trust with the asset.
As Privilege	Specify the Oracle privilege level to use when connecting with the selected Oracle service account, if required. The Oracle SYS account requires the privilege level SYSDBA or SYSOPER. For details, see the Oracle document, About Administrative Accounts and Privileges and SYSDBA and SYSOPER System Privileges.
Instance/Service Name	For SQL Server platforms, specify the Instance name if you have configured multiple instances of a SQL Server on this asset. If you have configured a default (unnamed) instance of the SQL Server on the host, you need to provide the IP address and port number. For Oracle platforms, use the TNSNAMES naming method to identify the target system in Oracle.
