Versions and releases of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)

The following release policy applies to One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS):

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions customers choose between two paths for receiving SPS releases: Long Term Supported (LTS) release or feature release.

Releases
  LTS release Feature release
Release frequency

Frequency: Typically, every 2 years

Scope: Includes new features, resolved issues and security updates

Versioning: First digit identifies the LTS and the second digit is a 0 (for example, 6.0, 7.0, and so on)

Frequency: Typically, every 2 months

Scope: Includes the latest features, resolved issues, and other updates, such as security patches for the OS

Versioning: First digit identifies the LTS and the second digit is a number identifying the feature release (for example, 6.1, 6.2, and so on)

Maintenance release

Frequency:Typically, every 2 months during full support

Scope: Includes critical resolved issues

Versioning: Third digit designates the LTS maintenance release (for example, 6.0.1)

Frequency:Only for highly critical issues

Scope: Includes highly critical resolved issue

Versioning: Third digit designates the feature maintenance release (for example, 6.1.1)

Support

Typically 3 years after the original publication date or until the next LTS is published (whichever date is later)

Typically 6 months after the original publication date or until the next feature or LTS release is published (whichever date is later)

For a full description of long-term-supported and feature releases, open the SPS product page on the Support Portal and navigate to Self Service Tools > Product Support > Product Life Cycle & Policies > Product Support Policies > Software Product Support Lifecycle Policy.

Caution:

Downgrading from a feature release is not supported. If you upgrade from an LTS release (for example, 6.0) to a feature release (6.1), you have to keep upgrading with each new feature release until the next LTS version (in this case, 7.0) is published.

Accessing and configuring One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) has a web interface and is configured from a browser. The users of SPS can be authenticated using local, LDAP, or RADIUS databases. The privileges of users are determined by group memberships that can be managed either locally on SPS, or centrally in an LDAP database. Assigning privileges to groups is based on Access Control Lists (ACLs). It is also possible to match groups existing in the LDAP database to a set of SPS privileges. Access control in SPS is very detailed, it is possible to define exactly who can access which parts of the interface and of the stored data.

The Welcome Wizard and the first login

This section describes the initial steps of configuring One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). Before completing the steps in The initial connection to One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS), unpack, assemble, and power on the hardware. Connect interface 1 (labelled 1 or EXT) to the local network, or directly to the computer from which SPS will be configured.

NOTE:

For details on unpacking and assembling the hardware, see "One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Hardware Installation Guide" in the Installation Guide. For details on how to create a High Availability SPS cluster, see "Installing two SPS units in HA mode" in the Installation Guide. For more information about the supported browsers, see Supported web browsers and operating systems.

The initial connection to One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can be connected from a client machine using web browsers and accessed from the local network.

NOTE:

For details on supported browsers, see Supported web browsers and operating systems.

Starting with version 3.1, SPS attempts to receive an IP address automatically via DHCP. If it fails to obtain an automatic IP address, it starts listening for HTTPS connections on the 192.168.1.1 IP address. Note that certain switch configurations and security settings can interfere with SPS receiving an IP address via DHCP. SPS accepts connections via its interface 1 (labelled 1 or EXT). For details on the network interfaces, see Network interfaces).

TIP:

The SPS console displays the IP address on which interface 1 is listening.

If SPS is listening on the 192.168.1.1 address, note that the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet must be accessible from the client. If the client machine is in a different subnet (for example, its IP address is 192.168.10.X), but in the same network segment, the easiest way is to assign an alias IP address to the client machine. Creating an alias IP on the client machine virtually puts both the client and SPS into the same subnet, so that they can communicate. To create an alias IP complete the following steps.

Caution:

The Welcome Wizard can be accessed only using interface 1, as the other network interfaces are not configured yet.
