Overview
Manage Cohesity Janus privileged accounts
Customer problem
Local Cohesity Janus user passwords are changed by hand. The password in the vault can drift from the appliance, a failed login is found only when an operator is blocked, and there is no audited way to reset an account when the current password is unknown.
Solution
Palo Alto Networks Idira® Central Policy Manager verifies, changes, and reconciles passwords for local Cohesity Janus users over the Janus REST API, using HTTPS. Import the platform package into Password Vault Web Access and assign accounts to the Cohesity Janus platform. Verify confirms the current password. Change sets a new password using the current one. Reconcile uses a linked account to reset the password when the current one is unknown. Works with Idira Privileged Access Manager Self-Hosted and Idira Privileged Access Manager SaaS.
Key benefits
Eliminate manual password changes for local Cohesity Janus users. Detect a vault password that no longer matches before it blocks an operator. Restore an out-of-sync account with a linked reconcile account. Keep passwords in the Idira vault, sent only over HTTPS.
