When does the rules engine run for dynamic grouping and tagging

Dynamic account groups are associated with rules engines that run when pertinent objects are created or changed. For example:

  • Whenever you add or change an asset account, all applicable rules are reevaluated against that asset account.
  • Whenever you change an asset account rule, the rule is reevaluated against all asset accounts within the scope of that rule. In other words, the rule is reevaluated against all asset accounts for grouping and the asset accounts within the designated partitions for tagging.

You can create a dynamic account group without any rules; however, no accounts will be added to this dynamic account group until you have added a rule.

In large environments, there is a possibility that the user interface may return before all of the rules have been reevaluated and you may not see the results you were expecting. If this happens, wait a few minutes and Refresh the screen to view the results.

Why did the password or SSH key change during an open request

There are three ways a password or SSH key can change while a user has it checked out.

  1. An Asset Administrator manually changes the password or SSH key. See: Checking, changing, or setting an account password or Checking, changing, or setting an SSH key.
  2. A profile was scheduled to automatically change the password or SSH key. See: Change Password or Change SSH Key settings.
  3. A policy allows both simultaneous access and requires that the password or SSH key change when a user checks it in.

If the password or SSH key changes while a user has it checked out, and the current request is still valid, the user can select either Copy or Show Password or Show SSH Key again to obtain the new password.

Appendix A: Safeguard ports

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords requires port availability for various system operations.

Port details

Safeguard network port details are in the following table.

Table 236: Safeguard ports

Use in SPP

 Appliance port

Protocol

Description

 

MGMT

TCP

HTTPS used for a secure first-time configuration of the appliance. The IP address is a fixed address that cannot be changed. It is available in case the primary interface becomes unavailable.

Typically used: TCP/443 and IP address: 192.168.1.105

Base operation

25

TCP

SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer

Base operation

53

TCP / UDP

DNS (Domain Name Server)

Base operation

123

 

NTP time synchronization

Base operation

88

TCP / UDP

For communication with Active Directory, Safeguard uses port 88 (for example, Kerbos authorization against Active Directory).

Base operation: AD Asset and Account Discovery, password check and change

389

TCP / UDP

LDAP used for Active Directory Asset Discovery and Directory Accounts Discovery. The standard global catalog port, 3268 (LDAP), must be open on the firewall for every Windows global catalog server in the environment and SPP Appliance to communicate for directory management tasks (for example, adding a directory account, a directory user account, or a directory user group). For more information, see the Microsoft publication How the Global Catalog Works.

For basic functionality when changing an OS account password, the following ports are required:

  • Windows Active Directory: TCP/389 and TCP/445

  • Windows, Windows Desktop: TCP/445

Also see:

Base operation (password and SSH key check and change)

445

TCP SMB

NetLogon Service (NP-In) is used to perform:

  • Password check and changes for Windows Active Directory

  • Password and SSH key check and changes for Windows, Windows Desktop.

Also see port 389 and Preparing Windows systems

LDAPS

636

  

Supported for non-AD LDAP providers. The default LDAPS port is 636. Port 636 needs to be open to use LDAPS for non-AD LDAP providers.

WMI

135

(49152-

65535

Windows)

TCP

The firewall must be configured to allow Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for computer name and other lookups. WMI is also required if SPP performs any of the functions listed below on any Windows machine (whether it be a dependent system or a normal target platform):

  • Managing service account passwords

  • Managing scheduled task passwords

  • Restarting a service

  • Using Account Discovery on the target

WMI / DCOM from DPA will need access to TCP/135 to initiate communication on the target. The conversation continues on a random negotiated port. On Windows 7 and Windows 2008 (and above) this is in the range: 49152 - 65535.

To limit the ports used by WMI/DCOM, refer to these Microsoft articles:

For Windows Active Directory, if using Account Discovery or Auto Discovery CLDAP ping UDP/389 is also required. See:

WMI

49152-65535

 

See port 135

SPP/SPS internal communications

8649

TCP

Used for the SPP/SPS internal communications when SPS is linked with SPP.

  • SPS to SPP:

    • SPS completes the link by talking to SPP on port 8649.

    • SPS authenticates a new session and acquires the password from SPP by talking on port 8649.

    • SPS queries SPP for cluster information and the appliance version.

  • SPP to SPS:

    • SPP queries SPS for cluster information and node roles.

    • SPP pushes SSH host keys to SPS when a session is initiated.

    • SPP queries SPS for session playback, follow mode, and session termination.

In SPS, the nodes require UDP ports 500 and 4500 and TCP 8649. For the latest detail, see the SPS Administration Guide, Enabling cluster management.

Firewall

655

UDP (X0)

WireGuard (655) is open for secure VPN communication between appliances in a clustered high-availability configuration.

To enroll an appliance into a cluster, the appliance must communicate over port 655 UDP and port 443 TCP, and must have IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses (not mixed). If both IPv4 and IPv6 are available for the connection then IPv6 will be used. See:

Firewall and Client and Web browser points

443

TCP

(X0)

HTTPS over TLS/SSL (443/TCP) permits inbound requests (for client/Web/API access). Used to initially log on to the appliance to join the cluster member. Users must have access to the cluster X0 ports on port 443.

To enroll an appliance into a cluster, the appliance must communicate over port 655 UDP and port 443 TCP, and must have IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses (not mixed). If both IPv4 and IPv6 are available for the connection then IPv6 will be used. See:

The port is used to prepare VMware ESXi host. See:

Global catalog

3268

 

The LDAP standard global catalog port for Active Directory. The standard global catalog port, 3268 (LDAP), must be open on the firewall for every Windows global catalog server in the environment and SPP Appliance to communicate for directory management tasks (for example, adding a directory account, a directory user account, or a directory user group).

Appendix B: SPP and SPS join guidance

The Asset Administrator can link a SPS (SPS) cluster to a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) cluster of one appliance or more for session recording and auditing. The actual link must be between the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords primary and the SPS cluster master. This means that the SPS cluster is aware of each node in an Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster and vice-versa.

Once linked, all sessions are initiated by the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords appliance via an access request and managed by the SPS appliance and sessions are recorded via the Sessions Appliance.

CAUTION: When linking your One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) deployment to your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) deployment, ensure that the SPS and SPP versions match exactly, and keep the versions synchronized during an upgrade. For example, you can only link SPS version 6.6 to SPP version 6.6, and if you upgrade SPS to version 6.7, you must also upgrade SPP to 6.7.

Make sure that you do not mix Long Term Supported (LTS) and feature releases. For example, do not link an SPS version 6.0.1 to an SPP version 6.1.

NOTE: If you have a single node SPS cluster where the Central Management node is also the Search Master, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will be unable to launch sessions. There has to be at least one SPS appliance in the cluster that is capable of recording sessions. See the One Identity SPS Administration Guide, Managing SPS (SPS) clusters.

Additional overview information can be found in the One Identity SPS Administration Guide, Using SPS with SPP.

NOTE: Configuration options and details related to SPS will only be visible to customers that have purchased and joined the product to One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

Session recording, playback, and storage after the link
  • Sessions recorded after the link are playable through Safeguard for Privileged Passwords and are stored on the SPS appliance. An archive server can be set up through SPS.
Functionality after the link

The following functionality handled in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's user interface is available in SPS after the link.

  • Session certificate assignment is handled by SPS. The certificate is available for audit by the Auditor.
  • The primary provider names must match for a SPS initiated RDP connection with Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. See KB article 311852.

The following functionality is available in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords after the link.

  • During the link, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords sets the SPS Connection Policy to safeguard_default for SSH or safeguard_rdp for RDP, as appropriate and may need to be changed. This default is nothing more than SSH or RDP connection policy.
  • Other configuration set via the Access Request Policies dialog, are not affected by the link. These include: General, Scope, Security, and Workflow tabs.
  • The Activity Center shows all old sessions and new sessions per the configuration. You can play back a session from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. Starting with session player 1.9.4, sessions can be played in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords with full indexing (which makes the privileged users' activity searchable). However, if you are using an earlier version of the sessions player then indexing is only available in SPS.
  • Entitlement reports have not changed.
  • On the Dashboard, administrators can still view and manage access requests and accounts failing tasks as usual.
  • When integrating with SPS, you can effectively enable Single Sign-On (SSO) between the two applications by creating and using the same SAML2 external federation login provider in both. The Login Provider ID value from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (for more information, see Identity and Authentication) must then be entered into the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Script Reference field when creating the matching SAML2 login method.
Step 1: Link SPS and Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

The link is initiated from SPS. For details about the link steps and issue resolution, see the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Administration Guide.

NOTE: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can target a specific SPS appliance or network interface by IP address. This is done by configuring the SPS connection policy to specify an explicit TO address (for example, CIDR notation /32). When that connection policy is selected as the SPS connection policy for the access policy, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will construct a connection string that targets that specific IP address.

Pay attention to the roles assigned to the SPS nodes. The following caution is offered to avoid losing session playback from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

CAUTION: Do not switch the role of a SPS node from the Search Local role to Search Minion role. If you do, playback of the sessions recorded while in the Search Local role may not be played back from the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords appliance, and may only be played back via the SPS web user interface. Recordings made with the node in Search Minion role are pushed to the Search Master node and are available for download to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. For details about SPS nodes and roles, see the One Identity SPS Administration Guide: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions - Technical Documentation.

Step 2: Perform post link activities in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords and SPS

Steps to perform in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. The Appliance Administrator assigns the managed networks for sessions management.

    Navigate to Appliance > Cluster > Managed Networks. For more information, see Managed Networks..

  2. The Appliance Administrator can view, delete, or edit link connections, as needed.

    Go to Appliance > Cluster > Session Appliances. For more information, see Session Appliances with SPS link..

    If you soft delete a session connection, then reconnect, the access policies remain available. If you hard delete, the Security Policy Administrator will need to relink and reestablish the SPS Connection Policy. For more information, see Connection deletion: soft delete versus hard delete.

  3. The Security Policy Administrator identifies the session settings on the entitlements access request policy.

    Perform the following steps to ensure each policy's session setting is correctly assigned.

    1. Navigate to Security Policy Management > Entitlements, select an entitlement, and open Access Request Policies.
    2. Double-click a policy, or select a policy and click Edit Access Policy.

    3. On the Security tab, go to the SPS Connection Policy. The host name of the cluster master is displayed first followed by the IP address: safeguard_default.

    4. If needed, select the cluster or appliance to which the policy applies.

      For more information, see Session Settings tab on page 1.

  4. While on the Access Request Policies dialog, the Security Policy Administrator checks any other tab, as needed. The link does not affect the settings on the tabs including the General, Scope, Security, and Workflow tabs.

Steps to perform in SPS

Complete any set up in SPS required (such as setting up an archive server, the SSH banner, the SSH host key, as well as SSH-related or RDP-related command detection and controls). For details, see the One Identity SPS Administration Guide: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions - Technical Documentation.

Standard operating procedure after the initial link

If you add another SPS (SPS) cluster after the initial link, follow these standard operating procedures:

  1. Add link connections. For more information, see Session Appliances with SPS link..
  2. Identify the session settings on the entitlements access request policy (SPS Connection Policy that is the IP address of the cluster master). For more information, see Creating an access request policy.
  3. Assign the managed networks. For more information, see Managed Networks.
