What is it? Secret Server is a password management system designed for colleagues in enterprisesto securely store and share secrets. Secrets include but are not limited to:passwords, bank account information, product license keys, etc.
"Most businesses have their own way of doing things. It is important for them tohave software that can be customized to their standards," says Jonathan Cogley, CEO,Thycotic Software. "We decided to upgrade Secret Server to help administratorsorganize and standardize their password settings."
Secret Server 2.2 introduces the concept of folders. Instead of just creating andsaving a secret, users now have the option of storing their secrets in folders.These folders help categorize secrets by separating them according to differentneeds. "An IT consultant will now be able to put all passwords they use or sharewith a particular client in one folder and passwords they share with co-workers at adifferent location in another," says Kevin Jones, Senior .Net Developer, ThycoticSoftware.
Secret Server administrators now have the option of standardizing secret names. "Ifan administrator wants to keep all company email accounts in Secret Serverconsistent, they can force the company name to be included in the secret. Forexample, Thycotic Software - Email Account," says Jones. The Naming Standard featurehelps administrators and users clearly identify secrets. It also assists them incomplying with information security guidelines set by their company.
Another addition to Secret Server is the enhancement of the Password Generatefeature. Administrators now have the ability to set password requirements bydefining the character set and length. When users click on Generate Password whilecreating a secret, only passwords that meet the requirements, will be produced.
"We build Secret Server based on customer feedback," says Cogley. "Organization isimportant to our users and every business."
