Machine Identity Overview

The Console gives you the ability to monitor and manage trusted machines with fine granularity either as individual machines or within Machine Groups.

Manage Machines​

To manage machines, a user will click on the "Machines" icon on the left taskbar of the Console and will select "Machines".

Console Machines page icon

You can view Recent Activity for a machine, it's current status, and more through the 'Machines' page.

Machines Console page

The Machine Detail page allows a user to HALT, RESUME, and ROTATE a machine. Halting a machine prevents it from accessing protected resources: for Authenticator-based deployments, this suspends credential generation; for agentless and firewall mode deployments, this blocks all traffic from the machine. Resuming a machine restores access. Rotating a machine updates its DLN credentials.

Rotating Credentials for a Machine​

Through the Machine Detail page, you can also ROTATE DLN Credentials for a Machine. This will require a machine to generate new DLN Client certificates on next DLN communication. Once the rotation is finished, the machine will return to the "STATUS_RUNNING" state.
