1. When configuring your syslog server, on the Syslog dialog add the "test" event.
2. Back on the Syslog pane, select the syslog server configuration from the table, then select Send Test Event.

   Safeguard for Privileged Passwords logs a test message to the designated syslog server.

When does the rules engine run for dynamic grouping and tagging

Dynamic account groups are associated with rules engines that run when pertinent objects are created or changed. For example:

• Whenever you add or change an asset account, all applicable rules are reevaluated against that asset account.
• Whenever you change an asset account rule, the rule is reevaluated against all asset accounts within the scope of that rule. That is, against all asset accounts for grouping and the asset accounts within the designated partitions for tagging.

You can create a dynamic account group without any rules; however, no accounts will to added to this dynamic account group until you have added a rule.

In large environments, there is a possibility that the user interface may return before all of the rules have been reevaluated and you may not see the results you were expecting. If this happens, wait a few minutes and Refresh the screen to view the results.

Why did the password change during an open request

There are three ways a password can change while a user has it checked out.

1. An Asset Administrator manually changes the password. For more information, see Checking, changing, or setting an account password.
2. A profile was scheduled to automatically change the password. For more information, see Change Password.
3. A policy allows both simultaneous access and requires that the password change when a user checks it in.

If the password changes while a user has it checked out, and the current request is still valid, the user can select either Copy or Show Password again to obtain the new password.
