Re: Managing passwords. Storing passwords.

[Joseph Corey <jcorey () CMU EDU>]

We very recently (like this week) rolled out a product called Roulette
by Lieberman Software (http://www.liebsoft.com) to manage our Windows
server passwords. The product does secure storage of passwords,
auto-randomization of passwords, and discovery to find out where
passwords are used (i.e. running services, COM objects, and scheduled
tasks). 

 

It also does Unix/Linux root passwords via ssh, but I haven't explored
this option.  There is a password retrieval website and a pretty good
delegation model. Good luck finding much info about it on their site
though. It's a pretty new product and built from an existing product of
theirs, Random Password Manager. All of the functions of RPM are built
into Roulette so that's a good starting point.

What policy do you have for having a password storage utility? What do
you use/sanction?
