Uploading a Hardware Security Module server certificate

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to upload Hardware Security Module server certificates.

To upload a Hardware Security Module server certificate

  1.  Go to Server Certificates:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates > Hardware Security Module Certificates > Server Certificates.

  2. Click Upload Certificate.

  3. Select the server certificate and click Open.

SMTP Certificate

Initially, the default self-signed SMTP client certificate used is listed and assigned to the appliance. This default certificate is not a trusted certificate and should be replaced.

Considerations:

  • The remote certificate must have a valid CN and/or DNS SAN and it must publish a CRL if the following is true:
    • TLS (STARTTLS or SMTPS) is used with SMTP
    • Verify SMTP Server Certificate is selected on Appliance Management > External Integration > Email.
  • Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports cipher suites for SMTP TLS in both the default mode and the TLS 1.2 mode. For more information, see Cipher support..

  • If a managed domain account is being used for SMTP user authentication, the remote SMTP server must accept the username in the form user@domain.

Go to SMTP Certificate:

  • web client: Navigate to Certificates > SMTP Certificate.

The SMTP Certificate pane displays the following information for the SMTP client certificates stored in the database.

  • Install Certificate with Private Key
  • Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

Creating an SMTP Certificate Signing Request

If you do not want to use a default SMTP client certificate provided with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, you can enroll a certificate using a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to replace the default SMTP client certificate. You can return to the default certificate later.

To create a CSR for a SMTP certificate

  1.  Go to SMTP Certificate:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates > SMTP Certificate.
  2. Click the Add Certificate button for the certificate to be replaced and select Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
  3. In the Certificate Signing Request dialog, enter the following information:

    1. Subject (Distinguished Name): Enter the distinguished name of the person or entity to whom the certificate is being issued in the proper format like: cn=common name,ou=organizational unit,o=organization. Using the format example, cn=sam doe,ou=marketing,o=mycompany. Maximum length is 500 characters.

      • Click Use Distinguished Name Creator to create the distinguished name based on your entries in Fully Qualified Domain Name (required), Department, Organization, City/Locality, State/County/Region, and Country.

    2. Key Size: Select the bit length of the private key pair. The bit length determines the security level of the SSL certificate. A larger key size is more secure but encryption is slower.

      • 1024
      • 2048 (default)

      • 4096

  4. Click OK then Save to save your selections and enroll the certificate. The certificate is listed in the SMTP Certificates pane.
