using Cyber-Ark's Digital Vault for passwords


hagai izenberg (2611) | asked Jul 18 '10, 8:55 a.m.
Hi,
Our organization is starting to use a central digital vault to store all the general user/passwords in our facility (specifically this one http://www.cyber-ark.com/digital-vault-products/patented-digital-vault-technology/index.asp)

We are trying to figure out of a way for Build-Forge to retrieve it's password (both in the security panel, and in some cases from the environment panel) from the external safe.

Is there a way to do such a thing? some kind of exit-point where maybe we (or the safe-provider) can write a module to retrieve passwords from an external source?

Thanks,
Hagai.

This would require a "password location service" built into our password fields and would be a new requirement. However, for the time being, Build Forge does have AES 128-bit password encryption in the 7.1.1.x versions of the product. All stored passwords can be encrypted this way when stored. Let me know if you want more information on how to enable this.

Regards,
Pete
