Re: Managing passwords. Storing passwords.

I am currently testing a product by edmz security (http://edmzsecurity.com)
that allows multiple users to connect to systems for priveleged tasks.  It
is an appliance that acts as a proxy between authorized users and the system
being managed. I really like the functionality of the appliance.  Having
said that I am having security do a full assessment on the device before I
recommend deploying it on our network.  You may want to look at their
website and see if it looks like the type of system you are looking for.

What policy do you have for having a password storage utility? What do you
use/sanction?
