Secret Server - Secret Template Compendium

Purpose

The purpose of the Secret Template Compendium is to provide an easily navigable and understandable point of reference for the various templates available within Delinea Secret Server.

Template types:

• High Risk Templates
• LastPass Import Templates
• Privileged Secret Templates
• Shared Secret Templates

Template Scope

Individual secret templates are created for specific use-cases. For example, an “Active Directory Account” template will contain fields, launchers, and settings that are specifically designed for managing an Active Directory account. Likewise, a “Software License” template will contain a different set of fields and settings. Additionally, this template type would not use a launcher.

Secret templates may be separated by security controls in place as well. Templates created for these security controls will have their security control listed within the title of the template itself. The “Active Directory” account template contains a High Risk, Privileged, and a Shared version. Each of these are their own templates and should be selected based on the level of security control that this account requires. Some folders within Secret Server will only permit specific templates. High Risk folders, for example, only accept High Risk templates.

Launchers

Additional launchers can be added to secret templates per request. However, these launchers are added to the template itself, which will add a launcher to every secret that uses that template. Secrets that get bloated with launchers may be separated into different templates to keep things tidy. If this happens, any necessary secrets can be “migrated” to a different template type from the secret’s details screen.
