One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.9.4 - Release Notes

Deprecated features

The Splunk forwarder is deprecated

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.

Content policy biometrics are deprecated
  • Pointing device biometrics - DEPRECATED: This feature is deprecated. Use the same option in Indexer Policies instead.

  • Typing biometrics - DEPRECATED: This feature is deprecated. Use the same option in Indexer Policies instead.

Arguments of Authentication and Authorization and Credential Store plugins that begin with target_ have been deprecated

These arguments were deprecated because the target_host or target_server arguments either contained a hostname or an IP address.

Now, new arguments have been added to the Authentication and Authorization and Credential Store plugins to replace deprecated arguments. The new argument names explicitely define the values they contain. That is, a server_ip argument will always contain an IP address, and a server_hostname argument will always contain a hostname.

The deprecated arguments are the following:

Authentication and Authorization plugin: get_password_list and get_private_key_list input arguments:

  • target_username

  • target_host

  • target_port

  • target_domain

Credential Store plugin: authorize method:

  • target_server

  • target_port

  • target_username

Known issues

The following is a list of issues, including those attributed to third-party products, known to exist at the time of release.

Table 1: Safeguard Desktop Player known issues
Known Issue

The Safeguard Desktop Player has rendering issues with bad opengl drivers on Windows, for example, when running a Windows 10 guest on a Linux host (VirtualBox).

This only affects the Windows version and mostly the virtual environments, however, the root cause is the bad opengl driver.

A quick workaround is to set a QT_OPENGL=angle system wide environment variable.

Related to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP): You cannot use the Safeguard Desktop Player version 1.10.11 to replay audit trails initiated from SPP. Alternatively, use the Safeguard Desktop Player 1.9.27.
