- Manage shared drive files using Google Vault. If there’s at least one active G Suite Business or Enterprise license in your domain, or you have Essentials with a verified domain, you can search, export, set retention policies, and place legal holds on files in your organization’s shared drives using Google Vault.
- In the Vault Cache area of the resulting window, click Reset. Click OK to continue. Accept the warning that ‘Your Virtual Vault Cache will be deleted”. Notice that your Vault node disappears in the left-hand Navigation Pane. Restart Outlook to automatically display the Virtual Vault Cache wizard again. Repeat the setup.
Overview
Click the File tab and then click Enterprise Vault. Click Configure Vault Cache. In the Vault Cache Properties, on the Status tab, click Suspend or Resume. To choose additional vaults to synchronize with. PERC 9 has a virtual disk setting for 'disk cache policy'. The help in OpenManage says it's disabled by default for SAS but with the latest OpenManage I find it's enabled. Previous posts have described this setting as applying to write caching not read caching. Previous posts have discouraged turn.
In many organizations, multiple users have permanent and continuous, yet anonymous, super user privileges. As a result, too many people have the potential to access business critical systems and data that are not part of their day-to-day role or responsibilities.
While it is essential for employees to have access to privileged accounts in order to work seamlessly and productively, organizations cannot know or control who accesses their business-critical systems and information, when and why they access them, and what actions they take. The fact that employees must be able to access and use such powerful and sensitive accounts raises multiple security and access concerns, as well as tracking and compliance issues.
CyberArk’s On-Demand Privileges Manager (OPM) provides a comprehensive solution that empowers IT and enables complete visibility and control of super users and privileged accounts across the enterprise. Using the OPM, the complete Privileged Access Security solution enables centralized management and auditing from a unified product to all aspects of privileged account management.
The privileged account can be accessed in the following ways:
Method | Description |
---|---|
Audited and secured login with root accounts | Users can log on as the root account using the root password. In order to do this securely, CyberArk utilizes the EPV for managing the root account’s password and the PSM for seamlessly connecting with the root account in an audited manner. |
On-demand access | Users log into the UNIX machine with a non-privileged personal account, and when required, they request the privileged account’s (e.g. root) root permissions on-demand to elevate a session to a root session. Although UNIX systems provide the built-in sudo command which allows on-demand elevation to root, the sudo command is not an enterprise-class option, and has challenges in centralized management and auditing. Furthermore, the sudo solution is a silo solution to the wider problem of privileged account management. |
AD Bridge integrated with Unix/Linux Pluggable Authentication Module | In large Unix environments where multiple local personal users are managed out of the domain, it can be challenging to control these accounts. CyberArk’s OPM Pluggable Authentication Module (OPM-PAM) enables organizations to regulate user authentication to Unix systems, enabling users to authenticate directly with their LDAP credentials. |
As part of CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security solution, this solution benefits from the following features:
Platform-based granular accessAccess to each privileged command on the UNIX host systems is permitted according to an extremely granular set of permissions that are defined in the highly secured Vault server. Access control rules can be assigned to Privileged Access Security solution platforms and can be overridden for specific managed accounts. This facilitates a ‘least privileges’ scenario and limits root account use to very specific tasks. Users can execute privileged commands from a native interface according to platform-based access permissions.
Centralized audit All privileged commands activities are audited and stored in the tamper proof Vault server, and can be viewed in reports that can be customized to meet your enterprise standards and audit compliance requirements. You can choose from a variety of reports and contents, and determine the report output format.
Recordings Activities that are performed in privileged sessions are recorded and uploaded to the Vault, where they can be accessed and viewed by auditors and other authorized users at any time. These recordings are stored in the tamper proof Vault server and can be used as a valuable audit source. The inherent separation of duties in the Vault server assures that recordings are only available to authorized parties.
Centralized managementAll management tasks for users and accounts are centralized and streamlined in the PVWA, including account definitions and policies. Audits can also be accessed and managed in the PVWA, as well as privileged session recordings. This combination of management features provides a centralized, full-life cycle solution for privileged accounts.
Avoids exposing root passwords CyberArk’s granular access permissions enable you to grant users permission to use the root account without actually viewing its password. Privileged passwords remain secret while, at the same time, usable. Users can access shells and carry out commands using passwords that they cannot see, but are permitted to use.
Restricted Shell Authorized users can access fully delegated root shells and work intuitively according to their regular workflow, while the privileged command features of the OPM are enforced. As the entire session is executed transparently through the OPM, commands can be restricted for specific users and a complete audit is stored in the Vault.
Automatic User Provisioning The OPM can be configured to integrate with Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD) to provision users transparently on UNIX systems, streamlining user management and reducing administrative overhead. Users have immediate access to UNIX machines, based on their AD permissions and groups, facilitating an uninterrupted workflow and maintaining productivity. As their user is automatically synchronized with a corresponding user in the Vault, all user activity is monitored. For more information, refer to AD bridging through PSM for SSH.
Restrict superuser’s write-accessWhen a user is elevated to superuser (root) to execute a privileged command, OPM does not give the superuser automatic access to every file on the system (i.e. according to the OS file system permissions). The superuser write operation is subject to authorization checking based on a defined policy according to the OPM file access lists restriction. If Security Managers do not specifically authorize a user to access a file during command elevation, OPM will prevent any write action on the file accessed based on the defined policy.
OPM leaves the UNIX file system permissions intact but adds a layer of enhanced access control to it. OPM intercepts each of the following file access operations and verifies that the user has authorization for the specific path before returning control to the OS. The access type is in parentheses.
■ | File /directory create (create) |
■ | File open for write (write) |
■ | File /directory delete (delete) |
■ | File /directory rename (delete, rename) |
■ | OS File link |
■ | chmod command |
■ | chown command |
Architecture
Users who require privileged account privileges in order to execute a privileged task invoke the OPM pimsu utility which refers to the local OPM to start the privileged session. The OPM maintains a local cache that contains the access control details that permit each user to invoke the specific privileged commands that they requested and no other.
The OPM uses a unique user to access the Vault, retrieve the access control details, and store the session recordings and audit information. This user must be defined in the Vault and must have relevant access permissions in the Safe where the accounts are stored.
The OPM constantly refreshes its cache from the Vault, so that it always contains accurate information. It maintains audit logs and session recordings, so that there is complete accountability for each privileged command request by every user, and monitoring logs that register OPM activity and status.
This solution provides high availability and business continuity, regardless of Vault or network availability. The local cache eliminates the need to access the Vault for every privileged command invocation and raises the level of performance, especially at remote sites.
When the user needs to perform a privileged task, they invoke the OPM pimsu utility from their terminal (step 1). The pimsu utility connects to the OPM (step 2) that checks whether the user has permission to access the account required to perform this task or run this session (step 3). If the command permissions in the Vault give the user the appropriate permissions to run this task, the OPM automatically opens a privileged session on a pseudo terminal (step 4) without exposing the root password to the user. The OPM runs the privileged command (step 5) and redirects the input / output of the command to the user’s terminal (step 6) where the user can follow the process of the command. The OPM records the entire privileged session. When the session has been completed, the recording is uploaded into the Vault (step 7) where it can be accessed by authorized users.The Vault Client stores information locally about the repository tree and the state of files in the working folder. If this information gets out of sync with the repository, errors can occur. Deleting all or a portion of the client-side cache can re-sync the client-side information.More information on the cache can be found here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=6
Make sure any Vault and Visual Studio clients are closed before deleting the cache. If possible, we also suggest that you restart the Vault Server with an iisreset command to flush the Vault Server cache after the client-side cache has been deleted and before clients are re-opened.
*** To clear parts of the cache from Vault 8.0.1 and newer.
Go to the Vault Tools - Options - Local Files - Cache Location. Click the button Reset Repository Cache. That will bring up a second window where you can choose which parts of the cache to clear out.
After this, your files might be in an Unknown or Missing status. As long as you aren't editing old files, you can perform a Get Latest with the option Do Not Overwrite/Merge Later. If you cleared out the working folder, then you will need to set the working folder again as well.

Enterprise Vault Cache Corrupt
To clear just the cached tree on Vault 7.1.x and earlier, follow these steps:Go to the Vault Tools - Options - Local Files - Cache Location. Click the button Reset Repository Cache. That clears out the files CacheMember_Repository and CacheMember_LastStructureGetTime.
After this, your files will be in an Unknown status. As long as you aren't editing old files, you can perform a Get Latest with the option Do Not Overwrite/Merge Later.
*** To clear or rename the cache for a specific repository, follow these steps:
If you have multiple repositories, you will need to find the GUID (long ID number for the repository) for the repository cache you want to clear. Run this query against your sgvault database in SQL server. This will return a list of all the GUIDs and the name of the repositories they belong to.
Once you know the GUID, locate the cache folder on your local machine.
Depending on your operating system, find the path
Code: Select all
Vault Cache Epic
You will see several files that start with CacheMember and a folder called _sgvault (this contains baseline files).
--To reset parts of the repository cache but keep your working folders:
Enterprise Vault Cache Settings Internet Explorer
- 1. Delete or rename the _sgvault folder and then delete all the Cache Members except for
CacheMember_WorkingFolderAssignments and CacheMember_ChangeSetItems (this tracks adds, deletes, moves, shares, and branches that are pending).
- 2. Rename or delete the folder
C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalSourcegearVault_1Client{repository-guid}{vaultuser}
or
C:Documents and Settings<userprofile>Local SettingsApplication DataSourceGearVault_1 Client {repository-guid}{vaultuser}.
or on a Mac
~/Library/SourceGear/Vault(Pro)_1/com.sourcegear.vault.guiclient/...
on your local computer. That will force Vault to recreate all cache information for that repository. You will need to reset working directories.
Reopen Vault and perform a Get Latest with the option “Do not overwritemerge later” rebuild the cache and reset file status.

What Is Vault Cache Location
For a quick, complete clearing of the cache for all repositories (or to rename entire cache):You can do a more thorough clearing of the cache with the following steps --but this will require resetting working folders on all repositories.
Close any open clients. Go to the path %USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication DataSourceGearVault_1 and delete or rename the entire Vault_1 folder. Restart IIS to clear the Vault Server cache before you log in again.
