How enable local root service account to allow session request and password request automatically

Hi all,

we would like to have a discovery job that automatically find linux device on a network and automatically enable the local root account for connection and password release.

At this moment, the Root account it's seen as "service account" on the server and even with a Discovery Account job configured to find the root account and enabling the password/session request it's still "service account".

I have to manually enabled it on the "Target Account" dashboard.

There is a way to automatically enable the password/session request on the local root account of the server?

Thanks,

Carlo

  • Hi,

    In the Asset Discover job > Asset Discovery Rule > Connection Template
    - this is what sets the service account on the discovered asset
    - if you do not wish to have this be root, it can be changed in the connection template on how you want to connect to manage the asset.

    As for Account Discovery to manage the root account and make it available as a privileged account automatically under the discovered asset:

    In the same Asset Discover job > Asset Discovery Rule > Management tab > Click Browse for the Account Discovery job setting so that you can select or add the "Account Discovery Job" which will be responsible for finding the root account and adding under the asset discovered by the "Asset Discovery job" above

    In the "Account Discovery job" > Account Discovery Rule:
    - Conditions tab > Find by Constraints > Type in Name: root
    - Management tab > its should have the boxes for Enable password request and Enable session request ticked here by default.

    Thanks!
