AMP for Endpoints

enversingh — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 05:09:06 GMT

Hi there.

We are busy with a deployment of AMP for Endpoints, during the initial connector configuration a password was not specified.

How do we retrospectively add a password? How would you go about changing the password once deployment? Lastly, is there logging of the password use for auditing purposes?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

I'm no expert, but here is how I would handle it.

Go to Management -> Policies.
Pick the policy of choice and Edit. Go to Advanced Settings then Administrative Features. Check the box 'Enable Protection Password'. Add your password and save.
As far as auditing, go to Accounts -> Audit Log and it will show up in there as 'Update'.

You can change the password anytime and objects will pick that up when they update.

I learned a trick from the forums here as well regarding this. Create a policy and group with no password. If for any reason you need to uninstall AMP, move objects in there.
