Importing the user to Vault

In addition to the method outlined above, new users can be imported to Vault by a superuser (for Linux the superuser is root, for Windows, it is the Administrator). This superuser logs in to the target system changes the new users’ passwords and stores them in the SAPM configuration.
To configure password changes by superusers:
- Navigate to Secrets > Vault.
- Open the Vault Configurations tab.
- Click search and find the related configuration for the target system device.
- Click the Green arrow button for the related configuration and select Edit Configuration.
- Enter the following properties: change.password.with.super.user = true super.username = (enter the super username) super.password = (enter the super username password. If the superuser is already configured as a account, the superpassword is not needed) change.password.command.template = (this is specific to the element type, the example illustrated below applies to Linux) passwd ${username}\n${newPassword}\n${newPassword}\nlogout This configuration allows all Account passwords for the related Vault configuration to be changed by the superuser.
