Discovery details
  • Once Safeguard for Privileged Passwords creates an asset, it will not attempt to re-create it or modify the asset if the asset is rediscovered by a different job.
  • Any SSH host keys encountered in discovery will be automatically accepted.
  • You can configure multiple rules for an Asset Discovery job. When Safeguard for Privileged Passwords runs the Asset Discovery job, if it finds an asset with more than one rule, it applies the connection and profile settings of the first rule that discovers the asset.

To add a new Asset Discovery rule

  1. On the Rules tab, click  Add.
  2. In the Asset Discovery Rule dialog, enter a Name up to 50 characters.
  3. You must specify at least one condition, the connection, and a profile for each rule:
    1. Under Settings, click Add Condition (asset discovery) to add one or more Group, Constraints, LDAP Filter (for LDAP or Active Directory), or Find All. Once one or more conditions have been added, you can Edit or Delete existing conditions.

    2. A Connection Template is required and defaults to None (no credentials are associated). To change this, select Edit to configure the authentication parameters. For more information, see Edit Connection Template (asset discovery).

    3. For Asset Profile, you can Edit or Delete the profile to govern the discovered assets. The asset profile defaults to the partition default profile and is based on the partition selected on the General tab (asset discovery).

    4. Select Add Account Discovery Job to select a schedule.
    5. For Managed Network, you can Edit or Delete the managed network assigned for workload balancing.
  4. Click OK to save the Asset Discovery rule.
