third-party password managers in the enterprise

Does anyone have any experience on rolling out or using (or banning) use of third-party "secure" password managers in an enterprise 200-1000 users)? I'm just looking for ideas or feedback as this question has been raised in our organization. Examples of such apps could be PasswordSafe and KeePass. These applications are simply encrypted databases which require a user-supplied password in order to open them. The user can then populate the database with their logins and passwords. This allows the user a secure storage for multiple logins and they only really have to remember the one password to unlock the database. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: ByteCrusher Detect Malicious Web Content and Exploits in Real-Time.
