Global Services

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to enable or disable Safeguard for Privileged Passwords services from the Global Services page.

By default, services are disabled for service accounts and for accounts and assets found as part of a discovery job. Service accounts can be modified to adhere to these schedules and discovered accounts can be activated when managed.

It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to manage these settings.

  • Navigate to Global Services to see the settings listed below.
    • Appliance Administrators can click the Disable All button to disable all services (as long as at least one service is currently enabled). A dialog will appear asking for confirmation before disabling the services.
    • Click a toggle to change a setting: toggle on and toggle off.
    • Click Refresh to update the information on the page.

    Email

    It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to automatically send email notifications when certain events occur.

    Use the Email pane to configure the SMTP server to be used for email notifications and to edit the email templates that define the content of email notifications.

    Before you start

    Before configuring the SMTP server, perform the following, as needed.

    • Configure the DNS Server and set up the user's email address correctly.

    • If you are using a transport layer for email authentication, One Identity recommends that you create the certificate signing request (CSR) with SPP using the Add Certificate > Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR) option. For more information, see Creating an audit log Certificate Signing Request.

      CSRs may be installed in the following formats.

      • Install Certificate generated from CSR including:
        • DER Encoded Files (.cer, .crt, or .der)
        • PEM Encoded Files (.pem)
      • Install Certificate with Private Key including:
        • PKCS#12 (.p12 or .pfx)
        • Personal Information Exchange Files (.pfx)

    To configure the SMTP Server

    1. Go to SMTP Server:

      • web client: Navigate to External Integration > Email.

    2. To configure the email notifications, enter these global settings for all emails:

      • SMTP Server Address: Enter the IP address or DNS name of the mail server. When unspecified, the email client is disabled.

        When entering an IPv6 address, you must encapsulate it in square brackets, such as [b86f:b86f:b86f:1:b86f:b86f:b86f:b86f].

        If you are using a mail exchanger record (MX record), you must specify the domain name for the mail server.

      • SMTP Port: A default port is set for SMTP which should be changed, if needed. By default, the SMTP port is 465 or, if you are using SSL/TLS, the default is port 25. The range is 1 to 65535.

      • To add Transport Layer Security, select one of the following options:

        • Require STARTTLS: Elevates the connection from text-based to TLS by connecting to an SMTP server that supports the STARTTLS command.

        • Require SMTPS: Uses TLS immediately in its connection to the target SMTP server.

        • None: Applies no TLS to emails.

        If you selected Require STARTTLS or Require SMTPS, you can select one, both, or none of the following options:

        • Verify SSL Certificate: Verifies the SSL certificate of the remote SMTP server.

        • Use Client Certificate: Presents a Client Certificate during the TLS connection to the remote SMTP server.

      • User Authentication: Select an option if you want to authenticate access to the SMPT server.

        • Account: If selected, click Directory Account or Asset Account, then select the account to use for authentication.

          If you use a Directory Account when creating the account, select the Available for use across all partitions (Global Access) option for the account, because only accounts with this option will be displayed. For more information, see Adding an account.

        • Password: If selected, enter the Account Name and Account Password to use for authentication.

        • None: If selected, the user will not be authenticated.

      • Send Test Email To: Enter an email address to use as the "From" address for all emails originating from the appliance. The limit is 512 characters.

        NOTE: This option is mandatory if you specify the SMTP Server Address.

    To validate your setup

    Test the email setup. When you test, only test emails are handled.

    1. In Send Test Email To, enter the email address where the test message will be sent.

    2. Enter the Timeout for the test email, that is the duration from the start of the delivery to the time by which the email must be successfully sent or return an error notification. During testing, each IP address is tested and if one fails, then an error is returned for the entire process. The maximum timeout duration is 255 seconds per IP check. Error logs are kept for two days. During testing, the appliance attempts to send a valid From address with an invalid To address, resulting in delivery failure.

    3. Click Send Test Email. The email is sent using the configuration settings. If there is an error or timeout, a message appears in the user interface.

    4. Make sure that the email is delivered. If there is no message in the user interface but the email is not delivered, check the support bundle log files in the SMTPSVC1 folder. SPP keeps logs for two days. For more information, see Support bundle.

    Enabling email notifications

    For users to receive email notifications, there are a few things you must configure properly.

    To enable email notifications

    1. Users must set up their email address correctly.
      1. Local users:
        1. The Authorizer Administrator or User Administrator sets this up in the user's Contact Information. For more information, see Adding a user..

          -OR-

        2. Users set this up in their My Account settings.
      2. Directory users must have their email set in the Active Directory or LDAP domain.
    2. The Appliance Administrator must configure the SMTP server. For more information, see Email..

    TIP: You can setup email subscriptions to any email event type through the API: https://<Appliance IP>/service/core/swagger/ui/index#/EventSubscribers. For more information, see Using the API..
