One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.7.2 - Administration Guide

Version 6.6 - 6.7

Changes in product:

• Algorithm settings in SPS have been extended with the host key algorithm to comply with current security standards.

  For more information, see Host key algorithms.

• From the PDF output of reports, you can now quickly access each session on the Search interface.

  For more information, see Report output.

• In card view, you can add additional search fields to the Search interface. This allows quick visualization of your preferred fields from the main page of the Search interface for each session.

  For more information, see Adding custom fields to the card view.

• During boot, SPS performs an integrity check and displays if a firmware is tainted or corrupted.

  For more information, see The structure of the web interface.

• You can now check and report if there were indexed audit trails where the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine failed.

  For more information, see Monitoring the status of the indexer services.

• From the Search interface, you can now view session details for data recorded by SPP.

  For more information, see Viewing session details for data recorded by SPP.

• You can now view encrypted screenshots in the Search interface by uploading the necessary encryption keys to your keystore. SPS does not store your encryption keys but your keys are now stored in your browser.

  For more information, see Viewing encrypted screenshots.

• During agent-forwarding, the Ed25519 and ECDSA user keys are also accepted.

  For more information, see Relayed authentication methods.

• During an SSH session, a key exchange is now done regularly and automatically.

  For more information, see Supported encryption algorithms.

• The Splunk forwarder is deprecated as of Safeguard for Privileged Sessions(SPS) 6.7 and will be removed in an upcoming release. One Identity recommends using the universal SIEM forwarder instead.

  For more information, see Using the universal SIEM forwarder.

• In RDP, do not use the @ character as an inband data separator but use alternative characters, for example, the % character.

• When you configure the location of the LDAP server, that is, the IP address or hostname and the port number, you can now use a Service record (SRV record), which is a type of information record in the DNS that maps the name of a service to the DNS name of the server.

  For more information, see Authenticating users to an LDAP server.

• The restore process has been clarified as you cannot restore from an older release to a newer release. Also, you must ensure that you have enough free space to restore.

  For more information, see Restoring One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) configuration and data.

Version 6.5 - 6.6

Changes in product:

• SPS now supports the ECDSA 256 (ecdsa-sha2-nistp256) SSH host key, which is a variant of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).

  For more information, see Setting the SSH host keys of the connection.

• You can now easily query the available server-side host keys or create a new one.

  For more information, see Server host keys and Manually adding the host key of a server.

• The Basic Settings > Plugins page has been renewed, and now contains more detailed information about the plugins.

  You can now also verify the integrity of the plugins that you have uploaded.

  For more information, see Using plugins.

• Audit data access rules allow you to restrict users to access audit data only for sessions for which they are granted permission. When creating a new rule, you can now use a preview to ensure that the search query returns relevant results.

  For more information, see Creating rules for restricting access to search audit data.

• You can now click each alert and event on the Search interface to view a corresponding screenshot.

  For more information, see Viewing session details.

• MSSQL query and server responses are now indexed and can be searched using the Search interface. You can download the relevant audit trail, open using the Safeguard Desktop Player, and export as CSV or PCAP format.

Version 6.4 - 6.5

Changes in product:

• You can now restrict users to access audit data only for sessions for which they are granted permission.

  For more information, see Creating rules for restricting access to search audit data.

• The following menu items have been renamed. Note that there is no functionality change.

  Old name	New name
  AAA	Users & Access Control
  Group Management	Local User Groups
  Access Control	Appliance Access
  Permission Query	Access Rights Report
  Accounting	Configuration History

  Permissions settings for user groups under <Protocol name> Control > Connections > Access Control > Permission have also been renamed from Search&Authorize to Follow&Authorize and Search to Follow.

• The User idle timeout option has been added to ICA, RDP, SSH, Telnet and VNC Control > Settings. If no user activity is detected, it terminates the session after the configured time has passed since the last user activity.

• A new, experimental SPP fetcher role has been added to the Cluster management roles. It fetches the workflow from SPP. The fetched data can be viewed on the Search interface.

  Caution: This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature. It is documented, but the performance impact on production systems has not been determined yet. Therefore this feature is not yet covered by support. However, you are welcome to try it (preferably in non-production systems) and if you have any feedback, send it to feedback-sps@oneidentity.com.

  For more information, see Cluster roles

• NOT FETCHED has been added as a new status to Basic Settings > Cluster management > Cluster management status.

  For more information, see Monitoring the status of nodes in your cluster

• Starting from SPS versions 6.0.4 and 6.5.0, certificates with SHA1-based signatures are no longer trusted for Active Directory or LDAP authentication.

  For more information, see Managing One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users from an LDAP database

• The RDP login screen now allows you to paste text-based clipboard contents. It also provides a warning if Caps Lock is on.

  For more information, see Usernames in RDP connections.

• SPS now checks if the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) has expired and that the CRL has been signed by the same Certificate Authority (CA).
