Appliance
Use the Appliance settings to view general information about the appliance, run diagnostic tools, and reset or update the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords hardware appliance.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can be set up to use a virtual appliance. For more information, see Using the virtual appliance and web management console..
One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwordsprovides the following information to help you resolve many common problems you may encounter as you deploy and use your appliance.
| Setting | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Where you execute a trusted, secure diagnostics package to help solve a configuration issue, synchronization issue, clustering issue, or other internal issues. | |||
|
Where you view general information about the appliance, as well as its performance utilization and the memory usage. You can also edit the Appliance Name and Host DNS Suffix. | |||
|
Where you enable or disable debug logging to a syslog server. | |||
|
Where you add or update a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords license. | |||
|
Where you run diagnostic tests on your appliance. | |||
| Networking | Where you view and configure the primary network interface, and if applicable, the sessions network interface. | ||
| Operating System Licensing |
Available on virtual machine only. Not available on hardware. Where you configure the operating system for the virtual appliance. | ||
|
Where you upload and install a patch update file. | |||
|
Where you shut down or restart your appliance in the web client. | |||
|
Where you configure SSH Algorithms to manage account passwords and SSH keys. | |||
| Support bundle |
Where you create a support bundle containing system and configuration information to send to One Identity Support to analyze and diagnose issues with your appliance. | ||
| Time |
Where you enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and set the primary and secondary NTP servers. A replica in the cluster will always reference the primary appliance as its NTP server. You can also manually set the time on a primary but not a cluster.
| ||
|
Available on hardware only. Not available on a virtual machine. Where you perform a factory reset to revert your appliance to its original state when it first came from the factory. | |||
|
Available on hardware only. Not available on a virtual machine. Where you enable and disable lights out management, which allows you to remotely manage the power state and serial console to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords using the baseboard management controller (BMC). |
In addition to the appliance options, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords provides these troubleshooting tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| View the details of specific events or user activity. For more information, see Activity Center.. | |
| LCD status messages | Use the LCD screen on the appliance to view the status of the appliance as it is starting up or shutting down. For more information, see LCD status messages.. |
| Recovery Kiosk (Serial Kiosk) | A terminal or laptop connected directly to the appliance to view basic appliance information, restart the appliance remotely, shut down the appliance, reset the bootstrap administrator’s password to its initial value, perform a factory rest, or to generate and send a support bundle to a Windows share. For more information, see Recovery Kiosk (Serial Kiosk).. |
Appliance Diagnostics
Appliance Administrators can execute a trusted, secure appliance diagnostics package to help solve issues with configuration, synchronization, and clustering, as well as other other internal challenges. The appliance diagnostics package is available from the web Support Kiosk, not the Serial Kiosk (Recovery Kiosk). The appliance diagnostics package can be used even when the appliance is in quarantine. To protect against external threats, Safeguard rejects illegitimate appliance diagnostics packages. The manifest file in the appliance diagnostics package lists criteria that may include the minimum Safeguard version, appliance ID, and expiration time-stamp UTC. New product code and database changes are not included in an appliance diagnostics package.
- The state of the appliance displays (for example, Online). Click
Refresh to update the state.
- If no appliance diagnostics package has been loaded, click Upload Diagnostics, select the appliance diagnostics package file that has an .sgd extension, then click Open.
- If the upload criteria is not met, the appliance diagnostics package is not uploaded and a message like the following displays: The minimum Safeguard version needed to run this diagnostic package is <version>.
- If the upload is successful, the Diagnostic Package Information displays with the Status of Staged. You can:
- Select Execute and wait until the Status changes to Completed or Error.
- Select Remove to delete the appliance diagnostics package and the associated log file.
- Once uploaded, you can perform these activities.
- If the Expiration Date has not passed, you can select Execute to execute the appliance diagnostics package again.
- Select Delete to delete the appliance diagnostics package, the associated log file, and stop any appliance diagnostics package that is running. Before uploading a different appliance diagnostics package, you must delete the current one because there can be only one appliance diagnostics package per appliance.
- Select Download Log to save the log file. Audit log entries are available through the Activity Center during and after execution and are part of the appliance history. A log is also available during and after execution until the diagnostic package has been deleted.
