I use this utility: http://www.counterpane.com/passsafe.html we store this file (which is already encrypted) and encrypt futher with axcrypt (sourceforge.org) on a thumbdrive. we have two located in two safes (in case one thumbdrive fails). I also keep the utility installation files on a cd in the safe just in case my pc or the other admin's pc dies. :) HTH Jenn -----Original Message----- From: john () tpna com [mailto:john () tpna com] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 2:53 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Password storage tool? Hi All: Looking for a utility that we can use enterprise-wide to self-service passwords. Things like service accounts, Domain Registrar accounts, etc... Right now we do the manual information to an envelope that gets stored in a safe. I realize that storing this info on the network is usually a Bad Thing(tm), but if we can securely encrypt it, it makes it a lot easier for people to get the info in the time of need (without the gatekeeper having to drive into the office at 4am). Looking for real-world stories, ideas, what didn't work, etc... -john "MMS <takedapharm.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged or confidential information.
