Version: Axidian Privilege 3.0

Account Operations

Account Editing​

The function allows you to change the Account Name, Description or Policy

  • Click  in the account profile to the right of the desired option

Account Confirmation​

Resource or Domain Synchronization function allows you to get local or domain accounts in automatic mode, but confirmation is required to work with the received accounts, since Axidian Privilege does not get their passwords.

  • Click Make managed in the account page

Password and SSH Key​

If a service connection of the SSH type is configured for the resource from which the account was added, then it will be possible to generate or manually add not only a password, but also an SSH key. Also, for such accounts it is possible not to set a password: the setup wizard will display an additional item when setting a password — Not set. Below we will consider an example of confirming an *nix account. When confirming Windows OS accounts, DBMS or domain accounts, the Not set item will be missing, and there will be no page for generating or manually setting an SSH Key.

Password Settings​

  • Select Not set, Generate random password, or Set password manually
  • Enter a password or continue by selecting Not set or Generate random password

SSH Key Settings​

  • Select Not set, Generate new SSH key, or Set SSH keymanually.

    To specify the SSH key manually, you need a key file in PEM format. If the key has already been created, make sure that it starts with the specified string, otherwise the key must be converted to RSA format:

    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

    To create a new key, use the puttygen utility, or one of the commands:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -m PEM
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out privatekey.pem

  • Select the SSH key file and enter its password, or continue by selecting Not set or Generate new SSH key.

Rollback Password or SSH Key​

The function allows you to return the saved state of the password or SSH key for the account

  • Click Rollback on your account profile.
  • Select a restore point, provide a reason and complete password recovery

Verification of Password or SSH Key​

The function allows you to check whether the account password or SSH key is valid.

  • Click Check in the account page

Password Change​
