Single Connect can check for new local users on target systems created after the Dynamic Password Controller (DPC)-SAPM configuration of that system. This feature secures unwanted connections. If there is a local user created on the target system, other than a Single Connect DPC user, this could create a backdoor to the system - anybody can log in to the system using this local user and the session will not run over Single Connect. In addition, the groups belonging to local accounts on the system are also displayed, exposing the user groups.


To prevent this, Single Connect checks for new local users created on the target device, and notifies the admin if any are detected. The admin can then take manual action, like deleting the user from the system or adding the user to Single Connect’s DPC/SAPM.
To do this:

1. Navigate to **SAPM Management **> **SAPM Management**.
2. Click the **Search **button.
3. After the accounts are listed, click the **Options** button for one of the accounts.
4. Select **Check New Users** from the menu.

SAPM will check the users and a pop-up window will inform the user about the process. After that, the new user list can be viewed. To check for new users:

1. Open the **New Users Log** tab.
2. Fill in the fields use to filter the search.
3. Click **Search.**
