None
When the asset's Authentication Type on the Connection tab is set to None, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not manage any accounts associated with the asset and does not store asset related credentials.
All assets must have a service account in order to check and change the passwords for the accounts associated with it.
Select the Auto Accept SSH Host Key to have Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically accept the SSH host key when it creates the archive server.

Checking an asset's connectivity
After you add an asset you can verify that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can log in to it using the Check Connection option.
Note: When you run Test Connection from the asset's Connection tab (such as when you add the asset initially), you must enter the service account credentials. Once you add the asset to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords it saves these credentials.
The Check Connection option does not require that you enter the service account credentials because it uses the saved credentials to verify that it can log in to that asset.
To check an asset's connectivity
- Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
- From Assets, right-click an asset in the object list to open the asset's context menu.
- Choose the Check Connection option.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords displays a Toolbox task pane that shows the results.

Assigning an asset to a partition
Use the Assets view to assign an asset to a partition. An asset can only be in one partition at a time. When you add an asset to a partition, all accounts associated with that asset are automatically added to that partition, as well.
You cannot remove an asset from a partition. However, you can add the asset to another partition either from the scope of the other partition or from an asset's General properties.
To assign an asset to a partition
- Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
- In Assets, double-click an asset to open the general properties, or click the
Edit icon next to the General title on the General tab.
- On the Asset dialog, Browse to select a partition.
- ClickOK.
