Possible deprecation of legacy HPE Edge Connect authentication
Hello all! We are working on an update to the HPE Edge Connect PowerPack that converts the dynamic applications to use the snippet framework. This will improve supportability, simplify troubleshooting, improve performance, and make it easier to customize the collections to suit your needs. As part of this, we are considering dropping support for "cookie" auth and requiring users to use API keys to connect SL1 to the Edge Connect Orchestrator. If you have a use case that precludes using an API key for this integration, please reach out and help us understand your parameters. Thanks!
CyberArk credential provider and CacheRefreshInterval timing issues with SL1 polling frequency
Rotation of password by Cyberark and the timespan defined with "CacheRefreshInterval" is causing issues with the polling interval of SL1 DAs. With CyberArk, the SL1 can source credential data from CyberARK. Respecting security policies, Cybersecurity recommends changing of password to the SL1 IDs. CyberARK can only specify a time frame during which the passwords can be changed. Within the collectors on the Cyberark agent setup CacheRefreshInterval is set up with 1500 secs (25 mins) to refresh the local cache with the Cyberark every 25 mins. As Cyberark can change the password at any minute or secs of time, SL1 still waits for CacheRefreshInterval to refresh the password. As polling frequencies are default set with 5 minutes(with password change happening at the 4th minute), often SL1 still reaches the server with old password and cause account lockouts. Is there a known way to tackle this issue?Who will be our next SL1 Innovators?
