Posted by The Poster on July 11, 2005, 12:19 pm Please log in for more thread options G/Day forum, I'm looking for a password management utility for all Tech Support staff. This utility would have to manage passwords for accessing the following device types: - Windows 2000 Domain Resources (Active Directory Based) - Windows 2003 Web Servers - Multiple DMZ Locations (different subnets/standalone Windows based systems) - Cisco IOS based Routers/Switches - Cisco PIX firewalls (ssh access) - Cisco VPN Concentrators (https/ssh access) Any ideas on what I could use? Regards, Steve.

Now, mind you, I don't know your entire environment but such a solution could be used for your entire enterprise to manage authorization and authentication to the proper resources... Anyhow, to name a few, consider: BMC: http://www.bmc.com/products/products_services_detail/0,,0_0_0_1902,00.html IBM Tivoli And yes, even Microsfot has one called MIIS....However, BMC is a mighty fine one :-).
