CyberArk Integration and AS400 Discovery in v15.07.00

We are excited to announce general availability of Device42 v15.07.00 with the following changes:

CyberArk integration

We have added an integration that allows the use of CyberArk as a secret storage location. For more information please see the CyberArk integration announcement on our blog. You may enable the CyberArk integration in Tools> Integrations> CyberArk.

New ‘Burnt Secrets’ and per-secret storage options

We added the ability to specify how you store each secret in D42. By default, secrets remain as they are: you can save, use and view secrets on demand given the right permissions. In addition, however, you may now select to store the secret as ‘Burnt Secret’. This becomes a secret that cannot be viewed after being saved, which can only be used internally by Device42 processes and tasks.

Additionally, ‘Burnt Secrets’ cannot be viewed in any field on the UI, cannot be exported and cannot be retrieved via API. You are also not allowed to change the storage of a secret after it has been created, but you may set a new value for the secret password as necessary.

Store Password as Burnt Secret

We have added the ability discovery AS400 servers. Simply create a new job via Discovery > HyperVisors / *nix / Windows and select IBM i/AS400 as the ‘Platform’.

To configure your connector and choose which connector you use, please go to Tools > Settings > Global Settings and set the “Cloud Connector” in the ‘External Integration Settings’:

Telco circuit status

We have added the ability to track the status of your Telco Circuits with a new optional field. We have populated a few predefined statuses for you, but you can also customize them as needed by utilizing the plus icon.

Specify VLANs for SNMP auto-discovery

We have added the ability to specify which VLANs to include in your SNMP discovery. When specified, only these VLANs will be scanned. Note that any VLANs specified in the ‘exclude’ list will take precedence and be ignored, even if they are also part of the include list.

We added an API to allow you retrieve, add and run nmap auto-discoveries. The URL is http://server/api/1.0/auto_discovery/nmap/, and accepts GET, POST, and PUT respectively

Building latitude + longitude

We have added the ability to track latitude and longitude coordinates for each building. You can also set and retrieve these value via the API so that you can easily integrate with external services to utilize these values. Buildings can be created under DataCenter > Buildings.
