Safeguard for Privileged Passwords On Demand Hosted - Evaluation Guide

Adding assets and accounts

Now let's add some systems so that you can see how Safeguard for Privileged Passwords manages them. A background in the assets, entities, partitions, and accounts will help your understanding. For more information see the following sections in Overview of the entities :

To add partitions, assets, and accounts to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

  1. Log in as AssetAdmin and navigate to  Administrative Tools.
  2. In Partitions, click  Add Partition to add these partitions. For more information, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Adding a partition section.
    Partition Description
    Linux Servers The Linux Administrator's workspace
    Windows Servers The Windows Administrator's workspace

    Directory

    The Directory Administrator's workspace

  3. Configure the Profile check and change schedules to run daily. For more information, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Creating a password profile and Creating an SSH key profile sections.
    1. Navigate to Settings | Password Management | Check Password (and Change Password).
    2. Double-click each schedule to modify the schedule.
    3. Select Schedule and choose the Day interval, set the time of day, and leave the daily repeat interval set to one day.
  4. In Assets, add some Linux, Windows, and Directory devices. Be sure to put them into the appropriate partition. For more information, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Adding an asset section.

    NOTE: To observe how Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically changes passwords, set up assets from your test lab, with actual network addresses, service accounts, and passwords.

    Run Test Connection on the Connection tab to ensure that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can communicate with the asset.

    1. Once you add an asset, add one or more unique accounts for each asset. These are the accounts Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will use to give people access to the asset. In Assets, select the asset and opened the Accounts tab. Click Add Account. For more information, see the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Administration Guide, Adding an account to an asset section.

    2. After you add the account, right-click the new account to set the password (Account Security | Set Password).
    3. Make the asset available for discovery. Select the asset then, on the General pane, scroll to Account Discovery and click Edit. Add the details for the discovery including the rules.
  5. Log out.

Writing entitlements

Now that we have demonstrated that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords is actually managing your account passwords, let's define some rules for requesting password release and session access requests, such as the maximum duration, how many approvals are required, and so forth.
