Creating a syslog client Certificate Signing Request

A certificate signing request (CSR) is submitted to a Certificate Authority (CA) to obtain a digitally signed certificate. When creating a CSR, you uniquely identify the user or entity that will use the requested certificate. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to upload or enroll a syslog client certificate using CSRs. Once uploaded or enrolled, the syslog client certificate is added to the syslog client certificate store allowing you to assign it to one or more Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliances.

To create a CSR for syslog

  1.  Go to the following selection, based on your client:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | Syslog Client Certificate.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | Syslog Client Certificate.
  2. Click Add Certificate and select Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
  3. In the Certificate Signing Request dialog, enter the following information:

    1. Subject (Distinguished Name): Enter the distinguished name of the person or entity to whom the certificate is being issued in the proper format like: cn=common name,ou=organizational unit,o=organization. Using the format example, cn=sam doe,ou=marketing,o=mycompany. Maximum length is 500 characters.

      • Click Use Distinguished Name Creator to create the distinguished name based on your entries in Fully Qualified Domain Name (required), Department, Organization, City/Locality, State/County/Region, and Country.
    2. Subject Alternate Names (DNS): Optionally, enter the Data Source Name (DNS) name of the server that will be protected by this certificate. For example, this might be the DNS names of all of the appliances in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster.
      If the DNS name changes, you must generate a new certificate.
    3. Subject Alternate Names (IP Address): Optionally, enter the IP addresses of the server that will be protected by this certificate. For example, this might be the IP addresses of all the appliances in the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords cluster.
      If the IP address changes, you must generate a new certificate.

    4. Key Size: Select the bit length of the private key pair. The bit length determines the security level of the SSL certificate. A larger key size is more secure but encryption is slower.

      • 1024
      • 2048 (default)

      • 4096

  4. Click OK to save your selections and enroll the certificate.

Installing a syslog client certificate

To install a syslog client certificate

  1. Go to the following:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | Syslog Client Certificate.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | Syslog Client Certificate.
  2. Click Add Certificate and select one of the following:
    • Install Certificate with a Private Key: To upload a PFX file that contains the certificate and the private key
    • Install Certificate generate from CSR: To generate a CSR and have that signed by a trusted CA
  3. Browse to select the certificate file and complete the install.
  4. For Enter the private key passphrase:
    • Enter the passphrase to import the certificate then click OK. Click to see the passphrase.
    • If there is no passphrase, leave the field blank then click OK.

  5. The Subject, Thumbprint, and Expiration date for the key you uploaded displays. You can select Use Default and respond to the confirmation dialog to return to the default, if desired.

  6. If you uploaded a certificate with a private key, you may upload the certificate's root CA to the list of trusted certificates. For more information, see Trusted CA Certificates.

Trusted CA Certificates

It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to add or remove trusted root certificates to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance. If you are going to verify the server certificate, then you do need a certificate from the server certificates chain of trust in Trusted Certificates.

Examples:

  • If you uploaded a syslog client certificate with a private key, you may need to upload the certificate's root CA to the list of trusted certificates. For more information, see Syslog Client Certificate.
  • An SSL/TLS certificate must be trusted to resolve the chain of authority. For an SSL/TSL certificate, when Safeguard for Privileged Passwords connects to an asset that has the Verify SSL Certificate option enabled, the signing authority of the certificate presented by the asset is compared to the certificates in the trusted certificate store. For more information, see Verify SSL Certificate.

Go to the following:

  • web client: Navigate to Certificates | Trusted CA Certificates.
  • desktop client: Navigate to  Settings | Certificates | Trusted Certificates.

Select a certificate to display the following information for the user-supplied certificates added to the trusted certificate store.

Table 196: Trusted CA certificates: Properties

Adding a trusted certificate

Prior to adding an asset that uses SSL server certificate validation, add the certificate's root CA and any intermediate CAs to the Trusted Certificates store in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. For more information, see Verify SSL Certificate.

You may need to add the syslog server certificate if it is signed by the same CA.

If a certificate upload fails, the audit log reflects: TrustedCertificateUploadFailed or ServerCertificateUploadFailed.

To add a trusted certificate

  1. Go to the following:
    • web client: Navigate to Certificates | Trusted CA Certificates.
    • desktop client: Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Certificates | Trusted Certificates.

  2. Click  Upload New Trusted CA Certificate from the details toolbar.

  3. Browse and select the certificate file then click Open.

  4. On the dialog box, enter the case sensitive passphrase to import the certificate. If the certificate does not have a private key passphrase, leave the field empty and click OK.
