Adding Vault Configurations

to manage passwords via password vault, a vault configuration is required vault configurations consist of the command sets to make the password changes in target systems there are pre defined vaultconfigurations in kron pam, but if the target device is different than those pre defined in the system, a new vault configuration needs to be created different vault configurations should be created for each kind of target system whose passwords will be managed by the system in the configuration screen, strategy defines the method to change the password, and configuration properties ” defines the details for each configuration static strategy is a configuration where an account can be added to password vault without the target system to create a new vault configuration navigate to secrets> configuration s open the vault configurations tab click on to add button fill in the name, strategy, and description fields and fill in the desired parameters click save to add and/or edit properties for the vault configuration write the advances search field to see saved configurations click the green arrow button of the desired configuration and edit configuration type in the property value and click save these are the properties that can be used for vault configurations sapm configuration property key description pool value account level properties this property uses values that can be set to account specific configurations, and that can be defined at the account level instead of values in the default configuration property values are defined on the sapm account screen other properties allow\ seen by multiple user if set as “true”, the sapm password can be seen by other users in same user group by default, the sapm password can be seen only by the user who got the password last (for dynamic accounts only) true/false always show\ accounts in auto login allows access to other servers with active directory and ldap accounts (applies to ssh and rdp sessions ) true/false default value true aws iam users region aws region to be accessed during password change eu central 1,eu west 1,us east 1 aws super user authorized username to change a user's console or security credentials authorized user username aws super user access key authorized user access key information to change a user's console or security credentials authorized user access key aws super user secret key authorized user secret key information to change a user's console or security credentials (encrypted) authorized user secret key change password with other account the security credentials of the user who will change their console credentials must first be added as another account then this account should be defined as accountname\@groupfullpath (example account1@/parentgroup) will change their credentials account change password after session login if set as “true”, the sapm password will be changed just after an rdp session is started by the kron pam session manager using this sapm account by default, the sapm password is not changed after being used by the session manager true/false change password command template the command is set to be used to change the password this set can be different for each system the command set consists of the commands to change the password in the target system there are pre defined sets for most used systems, but if the target device is not in the pre defined systems, this command set needs to be configured specific to the device type e g for a cisco device en\n${superpassword}\nconf t\nline con 0\npassword ${newpassword}\nline vty 0 4\npassword ${newpassword}\nline vty 5 15\npassword ${newpassword}\nenable secret ${newpassword}\nend\nwr me\nexit change password failure pattern during each password change, kron pam gets an output from the system it checks if the password was changed successfully if there is a failure in the password change process, the system does not add the new password to its database if the output matches this regex pattern, kron pam decides that the password change command has failed if the “skip password validation after change” parameter is set as “false”, the result of the connection validation overrides this decision, and this parameter has no effect specific to the device type e g for a cisco device % invalid input detected change password only at change period when set as “true”, no duration information is required from the user, only comments will be requested the password will not be changed after the checkout, and other users will be able to check out the same password until the next periodic change by default, the user is asked for the duration, and the password is changed after the checkout true/false change password script template the expect script is used to change the password script written in expected language e g for cisco ios router send "enable\r" expect "password " send "${superpassword}\r" expect { "password " { exit 1 "wrong enable password" } "#" { } } send "conf t\r" expect "#" send "username ${username} password ${newpassword}\r" expect { "#" { } "%" { exit 1 "command failed" } } send "do write\r" exit change password success pattern during each password change, kron pam gets an output from the system it checks if the password was changed successfully, and if there is a failure during the password change process, the system does not write the new password in its database if the output matches this regex pattern, kron pam decides that the password change command was successful, and stores the new password if the “skip password validation after change” parameter is set as “false”, the result of the connection validation overrides this decision, and this parameter has no effect specific to the device type e g for centos device successfully change password with domain usually, for some active directory (ad) systems, the domain name does not need to be sent during a password change request however, some systems require the domain name to be included in the password change, such as “singleconnect com/richard” instead of just “richard” by default, this parameter is set as “false”, and the domain name is not included in the command sent to the ad servers for ad user password change when set as “true”, the domain name is included in the command sent true/false change password with super user if set as “true”, the super user credentials defined by the super username and super password properties are used to change the sapm account password in the target device by default the value is “false”, meaning the sapm account username and password are used to change the password this option should be set as “true” when the sapm account’s rights are not enough to change its own password true/false change password self permission permission for active directory users to change their password according to the active directory self permission, kron pam is given one of these permissions change password reset password change period in day the default period to change passwords using this configuration (in days) there are two locations for this configuration the first one is in the sapm account definition, and it has the higher priority if “change period (day)” is not set in the sapm account definition, the “change period in day” property value for the sapm configuration is used to change the password if both the “change period” for the sapm account and the “change period in day” property value for the sapm configuration are not set, an error occurs when changing the password integer (in days) change period in minute on fail the period to attempt to change the password again when the periodic password change has failed integer (in minutes) check new\ users with super user sapm can check for new users in the target systems periodically, or on demand (see section docid\ eqb9b8pgeyaidbukwbwt for details) if this parameter is set as “true”, the super user credentials defined by the “super username” and “super password” properties are used to check for new users in the target device the default value is “false”, meaning the sapm account username and password are used to check for new users true/false check password command template the password vault can periodically check the validity of the passwords the command set defined in this parameter is used to check if the stored password is valid or not specific to the device type check password success pattern the output pattern in regex format, which shows that the password is valid specific to the device type check password validation if set as “true”, the sapm accounts using this configuration can be included in periodic and one time password validations if set as “false”, the check password operation will not be executed for the sapm accounts using this configuration this property checks if the password is correct true/false default value true check password with super user if it is set as “true”, the super user credentials defined by the “super username” and “super password” properties are used to check the validity of the sapm account password in the target device the default value is “false”, meaning the sapm account username and password are used to check the password validity true/false connection timeout timeout duration for connection integer (unit\ second) database driver database driver to manage database passwords oracle/postgresql/mssqlserver/mysql/cassandra/saphanadb/teradata/sybase driver in the following format oracle jdbc driver

send "do write\r" exit delete user command template the command set used to delete users after checking for new users in the target devices, this parameter is used to delete users, after reviewing the new users list specific to the device type edit comment enable comments appear when accounts are enabled for editing true/false execute post command with super usererror check account command template if set as “true”, the super user credentials defined by the “super username” and “super password” properties are used to run the commands after the password change (e g , to kill the active sessions started with the previous password) the default value is “false”, meaning the sapm account username and password are used to run the commands after the password change see section docid\ g ye0 i42nogt4hjgcnim for more information true/false error check account command template if "super username" and "super password" were added to configuration, "error check account command template"
