Article Summary

The BeyondTrust Password Safe integration enables Axonius to securely pull privileged credentials from the BeyondTrust Password Safe. The integration ensures that privileged credentials are secured in the BeyondTrust Password Safe, rotated to meet company guidelines, and meet complexity requirements.

NOTE

This integration has only been tested and supported with version 22.1.0.441. Please contact Axonius Support if you have a different version and it is not functioning as expected.

Description of Product Integration

Axonius uses the BeyondTrust Password Safe API to fetch credentials from the BeyondTrust Password Safe, refer to Password Safe Administration guide

The credentials are only fetched by Axonius when:

  • Creating a new adapter connection
  • Updating an existing adapter connection
  • Running an enforcement set
  • Fetching asset information for adapters during discovery cycles

Axonius does not store the credentials anywhere and deletes any trace of credentials.


To enable fetching credentials from your BeyondTrust Password Safe, you need to:

  1. Install and configure Beyond Trust Password Safe.
  2. The managed account must have API access enabled.
  3. The user (the user who creates the connection in Axonius) must have permission to access the managed account.
  4. Enable and configure the External Password Managers - Enterprise Password Management Settings in Axonius.
  5. Configure adapter connection credentials to fetch passwords from BeyondTrust Password Safe.
