security-audit-sync command

Command: security-audit-sync or sas

This command is available only to enterprise administrators

Detail: Sync security audit data for enterprise vault(s). Used to correct mis-matching summary security audit scores as seen by the user (in their vault) and by an enterprise administrator (either in the admin console app or via a call to security-audit-report in Commander)

Parameters:

Username(s) of vault(s) whose security data are to be synced. Multiple values allowed. Specify@all to perform sync for all enterprise vaults.

Switches:

--soft Do a "soft" sync of security data. Does not require corresponding vault login. This is the default sync-type.

--medium Do a "medium" sync of security data. Can sync some data without the corresponding vault login.

--hard Do a "hard" sync of security data. No data are synced until the corresponding vault login occurs.

-f or --force Perform sync without being prompted for confirmation (non-interactive mode)

-v or --verbose Output a Security Audit report after performing sync

Examples:

security-audit-sync [email protected]
security-audit-sync --hard [email protected] [email protected]
sas --hard @all
sas --verbose --hard [email protected]

1. Perform a "soft" sync of security data for vault owned by [email protected]

2. Initiate a "hard" security-data sync for the vaults belonging to [email protected] and [email protected]

3. Initiate a "hard" security-data sync for all vaults in the enterprise

4. Perform a "hard" sync of security-audit data for [email protected] and run a Security Audit report immediately after. Note that, in this scenario, you should expect the resulting report to show all 0s in the affected vault's summary scores (to be updated eventually once the affected owner logs in to their vault).

Hint: If the total password record count shown in a user's vault (in "Security Audit" view) differs from the corresponding value shown in the admin console (also in "Security Audit" view) or the output of Commander's security-audit-report --show-updated command, use the --hard flag to force a summary security audit score reset/re-calculation to re-align those values.

For more on the use of this command to correct mis-aligned security scores, please refer to the "Security Audit Report Score Re-alignment Process" section of our Troubleshooting page.
