Password (local service account)

You can configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to authenticate to a managed system using a local service account and password.

Note: Some options are not available for all operating systems.

Table 54: Password authentication type properties
Property Description
Distinguished Name

For LDAP platforms, enter the fully qualified distinguished name (FQDN) for the service account.

For example: cn=dev-sa,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Service Account Name

Browse to select the service account for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to use for management tasks. When you add the asset, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically adds the service account to Accounts. For more information, see About service accounts.

Required except for LDAP platforms, which use the Distinguished Name.

Service Account Password

Enter the service account password used to authenticate to this asset.

Limit: 255 character

Privilege Elevation Command

If required, enter a privilege elevation command (such as sudo). This is used as a prefix for commands that require privileged access on the system and to manage accounts on Unix-based systems; that is, to check and change passwords and to discover accounts.

When adding an asset, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords uses this command to perform Test Connection. For more information, see About Test Connection.

To enable Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to elevate the privileges of the service account, assign the asset to the scope of a partition profile that has the privilege elevation command defined. For more information, see Creating a profile.

The privilege elevation command must run non-interactively, that is, without prompting for a password. For more information, see Preparing Unix-based systems.

Limit: 255 characters

Privilege Level Password

Enter the Enable password to allow access to the Cisco configuration.

Test Connection

Click this button to verify that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can log in to this asset using the service account credentials you have provided. For more information, see About Test Connection.

Service Account Profile

Click Edit to add the profile or — Remove to delete the assigned profile. Available profiles are based on the partition selected on the General tab (asset discovery). To update the profile later, go to the service account and update the Profile. For more information, see General tab (account).

Auto Accept SSH Host Key

This check box is selected by default indicating that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically accepts an SSH host key. This option is not available for all platforms.

Once the SSH host key is discovered, the SSH host key fingerprint is displayed.

When an asset requiring an SSH host key does not have one, Check Password will fail. For more information, see Connectivity failures.

Use SSL Encryption

Select this option to enable Safeguard to encrypt communication with this asset. If you do not select this option for a MicrosoftSQL Server that is configured to force encryption, Test Connection will use untrusted encryption and succeed with valid credentials. For more information about how Safeguard database servers use SSL, see How do Safeguard for Privileged Passwords database servers use SSL

Verify SSL Certificate

Use this option to enable or disable SSL Certificate verification on the asset. When enabled, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords compares the signing authority of the certificate presented by the asset to the certificates in the Trusted Certificates store every time Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to the asset. Trust must be established for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to manage the asset. For Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to verify an SSL certificate, you must add the asset's signing authority certificate to the Trusted Certificates store. Only clear the Verify SSL Certificate option if you do not want to establish trust with the asset’s
