The desktop client is a native Windows application suitable for use on end-user machines. You install the desktop client by means of an MSI package that you can download from the appliance web client portal. You do not need administrator privileges to install Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
NOTE: PuTTY is used to launch the SSH client for SSH session requests and is included in the install. The desktop client looks for any user-installed PuTTY in the following locations:
- Any reference to putty in the PATH environment variable
- c:/Program Files/Putty
- c:/Program Files(x86)/Putty
- c:/Putty
If PuTTY is not found, the desktop client uses the version of PuTTY that it installed at:
<user-home-dir>/AppData/Local/Safeguard/putty.
If the user later installs PuTTY in any of the locations above, the desktop client uses that version which ensures the user has the latest version of PuTTY.

64-bit editions of:
- Windows 7

- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2016
If the appliance setting, TLS 1.2 Only is enabled, (Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Appliance Information), ensure the desktop client also has TLS 1.2 enabled. If the client has an earlier version of TLS enabled, you will be locked out of the client and will not be able to connect to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
Considerations:
- Internet Explorer security must be set to use TLS 1.0 or higher. Ensure the proper "Use TLS" setting is enabled on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog (In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab).
- To use FIDO2 two-factor authentication, you will need a web browser that supports the WebAuthn standard.

Platforms and versions follow.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords supports a variety of platforms, including custom platforms.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords tested platforms
The following table lists the platforms and versions that have been tested for Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP). Additional assets may be added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. If you do not see a particular platform listed when adding an asset, use the Other, Other Managed, or Other Linux selection on the Management tab of the Asset dialog.
SPP joined to SPS: Sessions platforms
When Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) is joined with a Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) appliance, platforms are supported that use one of these protocols:
• SPP 2.8 or lower: RDP, SSH
• SPP 2.9 or higher: RDP, SSH, or Telnet
Some platforms may support more than one protocol. For example, a Linux (or Linux variation) platform supports both SSH and Telnet protocols.
Supported platform updates
For all supported platforms, it is assumed that the latest updates are applied.

For all supported platforms, it is assume that you are applying the latest updates. For unpatched versions of supported platforms, Support will investigate and assist on a case by case basis but it may be necessary for you to upgrade the platform or use SPP's custom platform feature.
Custom platforms
The following example platform scripts are available:
- Custom HTTP
- Linux SSH
- Telnet
- TN3270 transports are available
For more information, see Custom platforms and Creating a custom platform script in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide.
|
CAUTION: Facebook and Twitter functionality has been deprecated. Refer to the custom platform open source script provided on GitHub. Facebook and Twitter platforms will be remove in a future release. |
Sample custom platform scripts and command details are available at the following links available from the Safeguard Custom Platform Home wiki on GitHub:
|
CAUTION: Example scripts are provided for information only. Updates, error checking, and testing are required before using them in production. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords checks to ensure the values match the type of the property that include a string, boolean, integer, or password (which is called secret in the API scripts). Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cannot check the validity or system impact of values entered for custom platforms. |
