Enable or Disable Services

The Appliance Administrator can enable or disable services using toggles. The toggle appears blue with the switch to the right ( toggle on) when the service is enabled, and gray with the switch to the left when the service is disabled ( toggle off).

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Enable or Disable Services.

  • Application to Application Enabled toggle: Use this toggle to enable or disable Application to Application service. It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to manage the Application to Application service. The Application to Application service is disabled by default. For more information, see Application to Application .

  • Audit Enabled toggle: Use this toggle to send Safeguard for Privileged Passwords data to Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) to audit the Safeguard privileged management software suite. The feature is disabled by default.

    NOTE: This feature is not fully functional until a future release of Safeguard for Privileged Sessions is available.

Factory Reset from the desktop client

As an Appliance Administrator, you can use the Factory Reset feature to reset a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance to recover from major problems or to clear the data and configuration settings on the appliance.

Caution: Care should be taken when performing a factory reset against a physical appliance, because this operation removes all data and audit history, returning it to its original state when it first came from the factory. The appliance must go through configuration again as if it had just come from the factory. For more information, see Setting up Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time.

In addition, performing a factory reset may change the default SSL certificate and default SSH host key.

Factory reset on a clustered appliance

Performing a factory reset on a clustered hardware appliance will not automatically remove the appliance from a cluster. The recommended best practice is to unjoin an appliance from the cluster before performing a factory reset on the appliance. After the unjoin and factory reset, the appliance must be configured again. For more information, see Setting up Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time.

To perform a factory reset from the desktop client

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Factory Reset.
  2. Click Factory Reset.

  3. In the Factory Reset confirmation dialog, enter the words Factory Reset and click OK.

    The appliance will go into Maintenance mode to revert the appliance. Once completed, you will be prompted to restart the desktop client. If the appliance was in a cluster, you may need to unjoin the factory reset appliance. The factory reset appliance must be configured again. For more information, see Setting up Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time. In addition, when you log in to the appliance, you will be prompted to add your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords licenses.
