Regenerating an API key

If, as the Security Policy Administrator, you discover that the API key has been stolen or misplaced, you can regenerate the API key at any time. When you regenerate an API key, it invalidates the old API key and prevents any services from using that key to access the Application to Application service.

To regenerate an API key

  1. Log into the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client as a Security Policy Administrator.
  2. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | External Integration | Application to Application.
  3. Select an application registration from the list.
  4. Click from the toolbar.
  5. On the API Keys dialog, select the API key to be replaced.
  6. Click .

You can now view or copy the new API key to the clipboard and use this new API key in your third-party application to access the Application to Application interfaces. See How do I make a request using the Application to Application service.

Approval Anywhere

The Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Approval Anywhere feature integrates its access request workflow with Starling Two-Factor Authentication, allowing approvers to receive a notification through an app on their mobile device when an access request is submitted. The approver can then approve (or deny) access requests through their mobile device without needing access to the desktop or web application.

The Approval Anywhere feature is enabled when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling. For more information, see Starling. Once enabled, it is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to define the users who are authorized to use Approval Anywhere to approve access requests. This can be done using the Administrative Tools | Settings | External Integration | Approval Anywhere pane.

NOTE: In previous versions of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, you had to specify a Starling API key in order to use Approval Anywhere and Starling Two-Factor Authentication as a secondary authentication provider. This is no longer necessary when you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling. If you previously configured these features, once you join to Starling, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically migrates your previous configurations to use the credential string generated by the join process.

Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | External Integration | Approval Anywhere. The Approval Anywhere pane displays the following about the users authorized to use the Approval Anywhere feature.

Adding authorized user for Approval Anywhere

Once Safeguard for Privileged Passwords is joined to Starling, use the Approval Anywhere pane to add the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users that can use the Approval Anywhere feature to approve access requests.

NOTE: If you upgraded from a previous version of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords where you have already configured Approval Anywhere, your existing configure will continue to work. However, you will not be able to manage your Approval Anywhere users until you join Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to Starling. Once you join to Starling, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically migrates your previous configurations to use the credential string generated by the join process.

TIP: Ensure OneTouch approvals is enabled on the two-factor authentication app on your mobile device.

To add users who are authorized to use Approval Anywhere

  1. Log into the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop client as a Security Policy administrator.
  2. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings.

  6. Add these Approval Anywhere users as "approvers" in the appropriate access request policy. For more information, see Creating an access request policy.

Once a user is added as an Approval Anywhere user and as an approver in an access request policy, when an access request requires approval, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords sends a notification to the approver's Starling 2FA mobile app. The approver can either approve or deny the access request directly from the Starling 2FA mobile app.

NOTE: Revoking an access request that has already been approved is not available via the mobile app. You must use the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop or web client to perform that action.
