SonicWall NSA Web Local User Account Secret Template for RPC

Overview

This document briefly discusses using Secret Server Remote Password Changing (RPC) for SonicWall NSA Web Local User Account. With Remote Password Changing (RPC), secrets can automatically change remote account passwords when a secret expires, either immediately or on a defined schedule. In addition, the new passwords’ strengths and other qualities are completely configurable. See the Password Changer List for a complete list of available password changers.

Assigning a Password Changer to a Secret Template

After completing the RPC setup, you can manage the built-in secret templates. Each secret template is specific application and is preconfigured with the password changer best suited to that. For the SonicWall NSA Web Local User Account, we want the SonicWall NSA Web Local User Account template.

You can view and modify secret Templates in the Secret Server administration panel. See Creating or Editing Secret Templates for more on the available options. Ensure that the secret template is in active status. See Activating and Deactivating Templates for details.
