Re: Password Manager Software recommendations

["Cam Fischer" <camfischer () gmail com>]

If your looking for a good "Client / Server" password manager, NPM
(Network Password Manager) works
great.(http://www.sowsoft.com/password-manager.htm)  A client is
installed on the end user machine, and all the passwords are stored
(encrypted) on the server.

There is one draw back. The application curently sends the stored
passwords in clear text across the network (which we found out during
testing). The solution is to use the MS IPSec implementation for the
specified NPM port.

It works well for what we need, and the passwords are centrally stored.

Hope that helps!
