Consolidate Credential Libraries

Working with so many SolarWinds clients, I, along with other travelling field engineers, have a unique view into the SolarWinds client base.  One thing I have noticed over the last few years is the vast number of individual credential libraries that an Orion administrator has to maintain if they own the majority of the product suite.  Some of these are usually duplicated between modules since the use of service accounts is rampant throughout the entirety of IT.  Consolidation of all the credential libraries will aid in so many different, everyday security practices, I feel it would be a great thought for consideration as a new feature.

Just a thought.

  • I am curious to understand which PAM solutions are being used out there, If you have a moment please answer the following poll.

  • Consolidation would help greatly.  We are possibly going to run into another problem and consolidation would help, but it might require even more steps.  Our Security group is considering requiring regular password changed for any and all accounts, including service accounts enterprise wide.  So to prepare for that possibility, we are being required to look into what it might take to change all credentials in the system regularly.  This may include all credentials including SNMP and any others.  I am not sure how that is going to work out yet or how much of a pain that will be.
