# Quickstart - Cloud LAPS

> Set up break-glass password rotation for computers and Entra tenants.

## What is LAPS for computers?

Cloud LAPS allows you to create break-glass / emergency accounts on all customer workstations (including domain controllers), automatically rotate passwords for these accounts every `24 hours`, and store the credentials in idemeum zero-knowledge cloud vault.

## Get started with Cloud LAPS

### LAPS for computers

In this section we will set up break-glass account rotation on workstations. We will need to enable LAPS and install idemeum control agent on workstations.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up for idemeum tenant">
    Sign up for free idemeum IT or MSP tenant on our website → [idemeum.com](https://idemeum.com)
  </Step>

  <Step title="(MSP) - Create child tenant">
    If you are an MSP, please create a child tenant / organization. 

    * Login to your MSP admin portal
    * Navigate to `Tenants` → click `Add tenant` and choose manually
    * Provide subdomain and display names and save the configuration

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure LAPS settings">
    * In your tenant navigate to `Control settings` → `JIT access` and scroll down to the LAPS section
    * Enable LAPS (you can enable LAPS for workstations to rotate local admin accounts, and for domain controllers to rotate domain admin accounts)
    * Specify the account name to use (if account exists, it will be taken over for password rotation)

  </Step>

  <Step title="Grab installation command to deploy agents">
    <Warning>
      macOS agent deployment requires privacy and security permissions so it is recommended to deploy the agent with an MDM profile. 
    </Warning>

    Click on the `Install agent` → choose `Control agent` and copy the installation command for Windows or macOS.

### LAPS for Entra ID

In this section we will configure break-glass password rotation for Microsoft Entra ID tenants. We will need to connect Entra ID tenant to idemeum tenant to create accounts and rotate passwords.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Entra ID to idemeum tenant">
    At this step you need to create an application in Entra ID tenant and set up idemeum to connect to M365 tenant using that application.

    Follow these [steps](/jit/jit-for-entra-configuration) to perform this configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make sure LAPS is enabled">
    At the bottom of the Entra ID application configuration make sure you have LAPS enabled and the account name specified.
