How do I create a relying party trust for the STS

The process for creating the relying party trust in your STS (Security Token Service) will differ between applications and services. However, as stated earlier, you can download a copy of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's federation metadata by clicking the link when you entered the STS information in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. You can also download the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords federation metadata at any time using one of the following methods:

  • Click Settings | External Integration |Identity and Authentication. Click Download Safeguard Federation Metadata.
  • Download the file from the following URL:
https://<Safeguard for Privileged Passwords server>/RSTS/Saml2FedMetadata

If the STS does not support importing federation metadata, but instead requires you to manually input values, you will typically need an App ID and Login or Redirect URL. Both of these values can be copied from the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords federation metadata XML file you downloaded.

  • The App ID for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will come from the entityID attribute of the <EntityDescriptor> element in the XML file.

  • The Login or Redirect URL will come from the Location attribute of the <AssertionConsumerService> element within the <SPSSODescriptor> element.

    NOTE: Only the HTTP-POST binding is supported for this end point.

You must then configure or ensure that the STS returns the authenticated user's email address as a SAML attribute claim. The email address must appear in either the standard SAML email address claim or name claim:

  • http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress
  • http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name

If the emailaddress and name attribute claims are not present in the SAML assertion, the SAML Subject NameID can be used.

NOTE: Any other attributes or claims will be ignored.

The SAML Response or Assertion must be signed, but not encrypted. When the signing certificate used by your STS expires, you must update the metadata in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords by uploading a new copy of your STS's metadata file. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will not automatically attempt to refresh the metadata.

NOTE: Your STS's metadata can contain more than one signing certificate to allow for a grace period between an expiring certificate and a new one.

How do I add an external federation user account

How do I manage accounts on unsupported platforms

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords makes it possible for you to manage passwords for accounts on unsupported platforms and not addressed by a Custom platforms.

You will use a profile with a manual change password setting. For example, you might have an asset that is not on the network. The manual change password setting allows you to comply with your company policies to change account passwords on a regular schedule without using the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatic change password settings. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords notifies you by email, toast notification, or both on a set schedule to change account passwords manually. You can then reset the password yourself, or allow Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to generate a random password according to the password rule selected in the profile.

Important: After you change the password in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords you must remember to change the password on the account; Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not do that automatically for you.

The following summarizes the general workflow for managing accounts on unsupported platforms.

To manage account passwords manually

  1. Configure a profile with a manual change password setting and assign asset accounts to it. For more information, see Adding change password settings.
  2. Ensure toast notifications or email notifications are properly configured. For more information, see Settings or Enabling email notifications.
  3. When notified to change an account password, choose the Set Password option you prefer:

      1. Click Generate Password to display the Password Change dialog.
      2. Click Show Password to reveal the new password.

      3. Click  Copy to place the value into your copy buffer.
