Preparing ACF - Mainframe systems

This applies to both ACF2 - Mainframe and ACF2 - Mainframe LDAP platforms.

To prepare IBM ACF-mainframe systems for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Create a service account on the asset and assign it a password. The service account must have the SECURITY attribute enabled for ACF2 ChangePassword to work properly.
  2. Grant the service account the privileges required to use the ALTERUSER command on other profiles.

  3. If not already installed, install a telnet server on the z/OS system. If required, secure telnet with SSL.

    Note: Please refer to your IBM z/OS system documentation for details on installing and configuring the telnet server (and SSL).

  4. Test the telnet server using a Windows-based 3270 emulator or on Linux, use the telnet-ssl or x3270 programs to test SSL and non-SSL connections to an z/OS system.
  5. In Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, create the asset and accounts for the z/OS system using password authentication.
About certificate support for the telnet protocol

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically accepts any server certificate that the connection offers and does not verify the trust chain on the telnet certificate. In addition, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not support client certificate selection, so if telnet requires that the client present a certificate that is signed by a recognized authority, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cannot support that configuration.

Preparing Amazon Web Services platforms

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports Amazon Web Services (AWS), a secure cloud services platform.

When adding an Amazon Web Services asset, the Network Address must contain the AWS Account ID or Alias.

To prepare Amazon Web Services platforms for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. In Safeguard for Privileged Passwords:

    1. Add Amazon's certificate and AWS certificate's root certificate authority (CA) to the Trusted Certificates store in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

    2. Configure an Identity and Access Management (IAM) user to use as a service account.
    3. Assign the IAM service account to the AdministratorAccess security policy.

  2. In Amazon:

    1. Create an access key for the IAM service account. Amazon creates a pair of data items called a Secret Key and a public Access Key ID. Take a note of both the Access Key ID and Secret Key. You will need them when you add the Amazon Web Services asset to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

Preparing Cisco devices

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports both Cisco Private Internet eXchange (PIX) firewall security appliances and PIX Internetwork Operating System (IOS) routers and switches. Cisco PIX and Cisco IOS use the SSH protocol to connect to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports both SSH version 1 and version 2.

To prepare a Cicso device for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Create a service account on the asset and assign it a password.

  2. Enable and configure the SSH server to allow the service account to log in remotely.

  3. Configure the Privilege Level Password (that is, the system enable password). This password is required when adding the asset to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

    Note: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords manages accounts found in the startup configuration file, not in the running configuration file.

  4. Add the Cisco device to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords using password authentication.

Preparing Dell iDRAC devices

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports the Dell Remote Access Controller that is integrated with Dell PowerEdge servers. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords uses the SSH protocol to connect to iDRAC devices.

To prepare an iDRAC device for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Use iDRAC to create a service account with administrator privileges and assign it a password.

    The service account must have login privileges and must be able to configure users.

  2. Verify that SSH is enabled in the iDRAC Network settings.
  3. In Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, create the asset and accounts for the iDRAC device using password authentication.
