Disconnected Endpoint Connection Information

The disconnected endpoint type lets you store passwords for privileged accounts that reside on disconnected endpoints.

SAM does not log in to or manage accounts on disconnected endpoints. Instead, SAM acts only as a password vault for privileged accounts on the endpoint. Every time you change the password for a privileged account on a disconnected endpoint in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, you must also manually change the account password on the managed endpoint.

You can create only disconnected accounts on disconnected endpoints. A disconnected account is an account that SAM does not manage; for example, SAM does not change the password of a disconnected account. In addition, you cannot use the Discover Privileged Accounts Wizard or the Discover Service Accounts Wizard to discover accounts on disconnected endpoints.

When you create endpoints of this type, provide the following information so that CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management can connect to the endpoint:

Host Name

Defines the host name of the endpoint.
