Delinea Integration API Key Support

Summary

Tenable has added the ability to authenticate to Delinea Secret Server PAM integration using an API key.

Change

A new dropdown, “Delinea Authentication Method” has been added for which there are two choices, “Credentials” and “API Key”. Credentials, the default, was previously the only option for Delinea authentication. When the “Credentials” option is selected, you supply a username and password. When “API Key” is selected, you enter an API token instead. An API token can be generated in the Delinea Secret Server web interface, under “User Preferences”.

Prior to this change, there is no choice but to use login name and password:

With the change, the default behavior remains to enter credentials:

When “API Key” is selected, you may enter the API key instead:

The Documentation has been updated to refer to the new options for Tenable Vulnerability Management and Nessus (Windows, SSH), and will be for Tenable Security Center (Windows, SSH).

Impact

It is optional to use an API key to authenticate, and the default authentication method will remain credentials. Existing configurations should not be affected.

Release Date
