Hi Martin, Thanks for the quick response. I do mean root access via SSH, but the Admin account used in the web interface seems (I may be wrong) to share the same password. Is this the case? We authenticate via the web using our own AD accounts, I just want to be sure before Beyond Trust owns the ESMC and I need to rebuild it again. Thanks Dave

How will ESMC and the associated Endpoints (v7) react to having the ESMC root/admin password changed on a periodic basis? If anyone has done this before a heads up would be most appreciated. Background: Our parent company is insisting that all linux based root/admin accounts are to be managed by a "Beyond Trust" device. Essentially it will log in (via ssh) to our ESMC instance and periodically change the root/admin password. After that, in order to use the root/admin account, I'll have to connect to the Beyond Trust device which will then log me in over ssh without revealing the password. Thanks Dave

Thanks Oliver, much appreciated. Dave

Is it possible to set up Security Management Center as a high availability pair? Currently using the CentOS/OVA install if that makes any difference.
